I'm trying to find a good SMB client that can connect to my Win 2008r2 file server.
I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert. I've gotten File Expert to see my network share but retreiving contents is beyond slow, and I gave up. File Explorer won't connect no matter what.
I'm a Windows admin in my other life so I'm well aware that Win 7 broke a lot of old (and new ) SMB clients, but I was hoping for some luck.
Until we have cifs module compile, you have to use ES File Explorer. Did you do a LAN scan in ES File Explorer? My Windows 7 shared folders shows up and I can access them.
Yes, ES sees my server but either login fails or else server not found. I don't have guest access enabled. I run a domain network at home -- and I well know that is the steepest hill for any cifs client.
What are your settings? It's OK if you fake the ip's. Just so I have boilerplate to make ES happy.

Hello there,
i would like to acess my home network with my x10 mini. There is a connection to my wireless network and internet connection works fine, but I can´t acess my telephone via PC.
Is there any way to copy files from PC over WLAN to X10 mini?
Maybe any apps?
thanks
Yup, there are a few.
DavDrive sets up a webdav server on the phone - WinXP can connect to this (I'm not sure if it works on vista/win7) and you can browse your SD card and drag/drop files
Astro has a plugin that'll let you browse windows shares (so you can copy files from your PC directly from the phone)
ES File Explorer can handle windows shares directly, without needing a plugin.
Any others?

ES File Explorer has worked very well for me for browsing file shares.
I recommend using the WebSharing app for accessing your phone contents via browser through Wifi. Can copy, upload, download, move, delete, rename, etc all through your computer and it's VERY fast.
Hi guys,
I would like to access some shared files with my SGS2 in my home network through wifi. So i first looked up for some information. I installed the ES File Explorer and configured a folder on my harddisk to be shared.
Once i opened ES File Explorer, i thried to add a new server. So i filled in my ip-address and my username and password from the computer. But ESFE wasn't able to connect to it.
So i went looking on the internet for some information, and what i learned from it was that it worked through a smb connection, but i don't have any clue how to let it work.
Could anyone explain me how to set up such an smb connection and what are the different steps so that i can access the shared files on my computer with my SGS2.
Thx for the help.
Hi, depends on what operating system you use on the computer.
If your running windows make sure you have file and print sharing enabled in networking, and a shared folder. Appart from that smb is running.
Make sure when you connect your connecting to the shared folder as some file managers wont connect to just the pc.
If your runnin mac os or linux itl take some config so youl have to look that up.
Hope that helps!

I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit. File and print sharing is enabled.
I turned Windows Firewall off and instead i'm using the AVG firewall. Do I have to configure something in the firewall options?
I installed Astro File Manager and the SMB file module.
I had no problem accessing the windows shares on my local network - just entered IP address, share name, user name and password and it connected straight away.
Ok i found the (provisional) solution for my problem.
It worked to connect when i turned of the AVG firewall, so probably i have to configure something into AVG.
Yeah firewalls tend to like blocking smb. Somewhere you should be able to allow either port 445 or smb or file sharing in AVG not used it so i dont know where but it will be there! Glad you found a solution.

I use es fie explorer to connect to shared drives on my home pc on my G2 running CM7 without issues. However using the same program for my TP2 I can't connect. I've tried other file explorers as well all with the same result. Has anyone had any success connecting to smb shares? If yes, can you share your setup? Thanks in advance.

I have used ES File Explorer and Astro to connect to Windows SMB shares. I do not know of any special setup though? With ES File Explorer I just have it scan my network for shares and then pick the PC that has the shares I want. With Astro I have to specify the IP address of the PC that I want to connect to, but that is only a one time deal.
Try AndSMB. It works for me, while I cannot connect using ES File explorer.

Thanks for your replies, guys. Today's update of es file explorer fixed my issues.
I'm trying to connect my TF101 to a V-Gear Landisk (SMB share) on my network.
I can connect with my PC (on the same wired network), and see the top-level MUSIC folder and many sub-folders.
I have tried ES File Explorer, CifsManager, Mount Manager, and AndSMB with essentially the same results:
I can connect and see the top-level MUSIC folder, but when I open it, I don't see any sub-folders.
In some cases, I get error messages such as "path doesn't exist" or "timeout"; sometimes I just see an empty folder.
Can anyone help me get this working?
Thanks,
Eric
I'm looking for an app that will allow me to remotely access WHS (windows home server) and allow me to manipulate files and folders. I know I can access my shares from ES File Explorer and I use that to copy files to and from my Android devices, but there are times I want to move/copy files from folder A to folder B on the WHS. The job needs to happen on the server and not on my android device, similar to the way utorrent remote apps work such as torrent fu and TorrentToise.
Is there an app that exist like this for android?
These are simple SMB shares (samba)
I have several folders on my Mac Mini shared via SMB so that I can access them on my home network. Prior to upgrading to Mavericks (10.9), I could use ES File Explorer to access these files on my Android device. Mavericks changed this. As of yet, I am unable to connect to my shared folders. I can see the computer's IP address in ES and I am able to enter my credentials, but it does not accept them. Any known fixes to this?
