Hello, I'm trying to access my UrukDroid 1.6RC2 from a Win7 desktop.
Samba is disabled in the UrukConfig and when I turn it on it just gives error. However the one time I did get to to work was when I had it turned off and used the Samba app that was included with UrukDroid. By just enabling it I managed to get some files across from the Win7. I tried enabling a custom pass but that proved useless seeing I was able to just access the share without needing one.
Reset that, then gave up on it for a few days then tonight I tried the same thing and somehow the share doesn't show up under Network in Win7 so no way to even access it...
Anyone have any answers or advice? This is a shame cause I love me some Samba.
well im not sure waht urukconfig is doing for samba.
But if u wanna know how to start:
U can ALWAYS setup each service manualy without UrukConf.
To get started - read the sama man pages - or some general linux samba howto - its anolog to the android versions...
Anywy if u just want to figure out what's wrong with the urkukconfig-samba - start a terminal-session on your archos (or use ssh from win7) and browse to /etc/uruk.conf and /etc/uruk.d wich hold the configuration and the startup files for the UD services.
To debug simplay run the samba script in /etc/uruk.d/ and check for the error output
if u don't knwo what the error means - report it here - or even better: use google
good luck

Has anyone gotten this to work, or come close? Wifi over work really isn't an option..
Switching to phone portal gives me a srX device, none of the settings give me any type of usb interface.
I've done searching but haven't found any threads discussing USB moto phone portal for linux, i'd be willing to help figure this out.
arch/gentoo/lfs/ubuntu user.
Are you trying to use it as a Mass Storage Device under linux? Make sure you have the following working under your linux installation. Scroll down to the linux section.
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Installing_MOTODEV_Studio_for_Android/
No, I can mount it as storage no problem.
I want the web portal you can use with Windows. Where I can view text messages, etc from a browser.
My main work pc is linux, as are all my home PC's. I don't like the idea of using WiFi for this at home, and it's simply not an option to have WiFi running at work.
I tried installing the motorola suite under wine to no success.
If I could get the phone to be in the state it is when it's connected to a windows PC(serving that web interface), I could manually configure the usb0 interface, bridge, and connect?
any linux guys been working on this?
alright, I'm getting really frustrated with this, webtop is pretty much doing everything I need it to, aside from connecting over local networks to Windows based file systems.
I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted, running stock ROM with faux 1.3 ghz kernel (which should add CIPs support right? or is that just for android?), webtop2sd running xfce4 with gigolo trying to connect to windows shares, and it is just not working. I cant even get gigolo to connect to an FTP server (hosted on a windows machine), much less connect to an actual shared windows folder. It said comes up saying "Failed to mount windows share" or something of that nature.
At this point, I'm willing to pay some cold hard paypal if someone can help me out here, because this can totally replace my laptop if this can get working.
I dont know what the problem is, but I do know that the samba-common package is broke. I'm not sure if that is related to the problem or not.
Webtop can be a real headache!
You mean CIFS support, right? Not CIPS support. CIFS is related to Samba implementation. If this is what you are needing you may have not found anything if you were searching for the wrong acronym.
Here is a post about CIFS support in another forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153926
By the way what Rom are you using? And are you using Webtop2sd?
I really like the Darkside 4.2 rom but I cannot get Webtop2sd to recognize my partitions.
Kevin
lol.yeah,wrong acronym, I am a pretty big linux nub
im using stock ROM, with webtop2sd like I said in my initial post...
EDIT - just double checked, the faux kernel I have has CIFS support, so I am still at a loss what the issue is. I do have a couple theories though:
1. The broken samba-common package is still causing a problem
2. How do I know that the programs trying to connect to shares locally, are connected via the wifi,and not trying to connect via the 3G? As an example, if I have a server on 192.168.2.37, could the program be looking on the internet for that address over the 3G instead locally over the wifi?
so if ES File Explorer on my phone in mobile view can connect to both FTP and Windows share servers, why cant the webtop connect to either?
*bump*
My offer still stands, if someone can help me get the webtop linux to connect to either windows file shares or at least an FTP server, I will be more than willing to donate some money via paypal.
have you checked out CifsManager linked by faux on his kernel thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
Thats an andoid app. Esfile explorer works on android too, i am able to connect to both windows shares and ftp servers
But i am looking for webtop linux to do that instead, which it doesnt seem to want to do
Want to do file transfer between your TP and computer without USB?
Here is the ICS wifi file transfer app
Airdroid
File expert for root access
Ive always just used File Expert even on CM7. Its pretty easy to set up a Windows file share over wifi.

Click to expand...

Or you can just turn on MTP in settings and plug in like usual.

Yes you can use mtp unless you have a win xp system like mine. I have an Acer aspire with win xp sp3. I have tried all the fixes posted as well as modifying the inf files but cannot get mtp mode to work. Airdroid works just fine and it is a small issue to work around. I love ICS on my TP and I am sure the small things will get ironed out in time. Everyone involved in this work has done a great job and I see great things to come for this dead device.

This app is still great if you don't want to have to mess around with pluging it into your Pc I will give it a try thanks !
Samba File sharing (on the market) works fine, you can then map your TouchPad as a network drive in windows (makes it easy to put stuff on it, take stuff of) Just install it, set a password, and enable the share, and then map a drive using the info on the screen. Super easy. (Needs root and working SU)
If you install the Bricks kernal, you can use CIFS manager or Mount Manager to map a network drive to the TP, which allows you to then access files directly over WiFi without having to copy them to the TP first (a normal network share). I found it finicky to get set up, but was able to access my Windows SBS server and Win 7 systems.
Moshe5368 have you tried enabling mtp and disabling debugging? I'm using winxp and that's how I got it working.

It's there a way to access my phones files without it being connected to my WiFi network? Maybe an app that can run as a service?
Sent from my overclocked LG G2x
Currently NO, there isn't any Service or App yet that can do such thing !
yes it IS POSSIBLE - since the beginning of android
try Termux with sshd ( openssh ) - free on the PlayStore
if you don't want to, just root it, setup buisybox and make a reverse Tunnel over SSH
you can read everything about that when you search on google for "autossh linux setup"
you do the same, but without AutoSSH
if you dont want to do this, you can make yourself an openVPN server and connect your phone to it - thats pretty easy . then just use SSHDroid or Termux to set up an SSH server - After you have done this, connect your PC to the VPN network and ssh into the phone - if you dont want to connect your pc to the server , shh throuch ssh to the phone from the server
you don't need to rent a server yourself - if you run linux just install opennssh and run sshd and forward your ports. If you are on Windows, idk just google
I use this technique since 2011 to remotly controll my phone with an internal meterpreter session - so i can wipe everything or spy the guy who stole my phone when its lost

hope it helped - if you aren't too techy its maybe a little hard
Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
