I've installed ES File Explorer on my Prime under the impression it will let me browse my shared files and folders on my laptop. So I go to the 'LAN Shares' page in ES and run a scan. My laptop shows up, but when I click on it I get the error 'Login failure. Try new user name/password?' Thing is, I don't have a password on my laptop... so how do I get around this?
Also, on Windows 7 how do I make sure I'm properly set-up for file sharing?
I think you just right click on c or your doc folder and you see sharing options. ES is working great for me. I do believe you have to make the computer open to the world, so remember to stop sharing if it is a laptop you take away from home.
when on the main ES explorer screen...
1. swipe your finger to the left..
2. add a "server" in this case your PC IP address with user/passwd if needed
3. if any shares are available on your PC they will get listed right away...
hope it helps.

Yes I've done that, but my problem is that I don't have a username or password on my laptop but ES keeps asking for it!
Create a user on the laptop called share with the password share or something.
Then give the diesired folder access-rights to this user.

Well yes but I'd rather not have to put a password in everytime I boot windows. There must be a way to get this working without having to set up a user account in windows...?

How did u created the shares?
Is the "everyone" group listed as having access rights on the "Shared" folders you're sharing?
I don't think you understand. Your username is literally your user name. It's your user account. If you don't have a password for your user account, you still need to enter the "login name" for your user account whether it be the default "Administrator" or "User" and leave the password field empty.
My user name in Windows is buymecar. My login password is ilovexda. You get where I'm going with this?

make sure you turn off password protection for shares in...
but you can always set a password, and set window to auto login buy running "control userpasswords2"

Right.... and make sure that "Anonymous" has rights to access the shares. That will be under your Local Policy settings if you want to go that deep.
Okay got it working, thanks for the help guys. The problem was that all my media is on an external hard drive. In case anyone else has this problem and stumbles upon this thread, here's what I did:
1. Right clicked the external hdd and went to sharing tab. At the bottom it said that I had password protection on, so I followed the instructions there to disable it.
2. The 'Share' button in the sharing tab was greyed out so I had to go into advanced sharing and check 'Share this folder'.
3. I then went into the security tab of the properties pane and gave my user account all permissions. My user account is the only account and therefore has admin rights, so I don't know why I had to do this.
4. I then created a new username called 'everyone', and gave it all permissions.
5. Clicked okay and close, and I could then access it via ES on my prime.
The reason I didn't mention the hdd in the OP is because at that point I couldn't access the laptop at all. Once I did the above everything worked. I think having password protection on was preventing me from getting into my laptop at all, as I don't have any passwords in windows.
Thanks for the help! I now have access to all my media on my prime. Good times.
EDIT. Turns out the username 'everyone' doesn't need all permissions. I didn't like the idea of 'everyone' having full control over my hdd so I changed the permissions to just allow reading and writing, no modifying etc. Still works.
Cool beans....
What kind of data transfer rates are normal for transfer between two wireless devices? Wireless G that is. Both devices are very close to the router. I should be able to stream 720p video comfortably right? But it doesn't seem to keep up.
Is there a way of testing this speed?

There is currently no tablet app that I know of that test speed (wifi analyzers scan wifi signal strength) but speedtest app can test you internet connection. For local speed, you can transfer a big file and look at the transfer rate. Ideally, the between 1-2 meters away for the router is the best.
"When testing throughput do it ~1 meter from the AP and test between a wireless client and a wired client. Doing it far away/behind walls/downstairs/etc will have reduced rates and is a different problem to solve. Being extremely close can lower performance by overloading the receiver" -dd-wrt.com
Wireless G is 54 Mbits/s but real world test is ~22 Mbits/s down and ~2.5 Mbit/s....720p streams at 2.5 Mbit/s (for VC-1 and lower formats) up to 5Mbit/s (for H.264 and better quality formats) so it depends on a lot of things. Short answer yes. BUT if you source is on wifi too rather than LAN then there is a high chance that it won't be smooth. Also depending on whether you are the only one connected, the router brand, how good your source is, etc. 720p on 802.11g is hit and miss (mostly miss) so consider a wireless N 300M/bits router
All this can be found on google (feel free to correct me) and please click THANKS if this helped you.
That makes a lot of sense. The file I've been using is a high quality .mkv file, so that's probably the issue.
google is great, here are some good resources for a beginner:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7412-guest-account-turn-off.html
If you do use a password ES has problems with non alphanumeric characters sometimes.
ES gives access to network shares by buffering the files via an internal webserver, this means it significantly reduces performance. If you want to watch HD mkv's I would recommend using CifsManager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928&highlight=cifsmanager
I use it with MX player or Dice and have no issues watching 1080 mkv movies over wireless g if I'm not too far from the access point.
---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
As a note "not to far" is roughly upto about 35 feet for G or 50 for N for me with 1080.
Even if you move to wireless N, ES file explorer will not perform as well as CifsManager with HD videos.
Never share your OS drive. Just share a folder(s) that are on your OS drive. Give anonymous access to these particular folders, so when any client that looks for shared folders they will see these folders there. Shouldn't have to input any log in information at all.
breakshift, I am trying also to access my external hdd on my Prime. I followed your steps, but still cannot determine the correct username and password combination. What did you end up using?
Well since I did what I described in that post, it all works. Are you able to connect to the computer at all? Or is it just when you try to go into the HDD it refuses you?
ES doesn't ask for a username or password at all for me anymore. Does it prompt you for that info? If so, do you have a password set up on your user account on your computer?
When I try to watch videos using es file explorer on mg galaxy s2, sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. If I restart my desktop pc, it will work for about half an hour then fail to login again.
This is what I'm always getting, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B90aBBkpJZ8tS3NINU9fbDBDUzA/edit would appreciate it someone can help.
I'm using windows 7 pro 64bit
Everyone else in my family can stream the shared files with their windows laptop.
After restarting my computer(the pc with the shared files), my brother and I can stream for about 30 minutes, then I have to restart my pc again.
I have a password on my pc, but even when I put it in the edit server options it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it may be a firewall or router setting?

Thanks to JimmyChingala for creating the app.
Let me tell you why this useful. You can side load you ebook, apps etc. via wifi. I know we can do this with CIFS as well, but this is a small footprint app and can be easily enabled/disabled as well. I prefer this as pushing files to the NC is easier than trying to navigate via cifs IMHO.
Now gettin' down to business...
Step 1: Go HERE and download the SambaFilesharing3APK-b101226-2.zip file. This can change as and when Jimmy decides to make updates etc.
Step 2: Unzip the apk inside the zip file.
Step 3: Install using ADB or copy it over to NC/sdcard and install using Root Explorer/Astro type File Manager
Step 4: Run the app and DO NOT FORGET to ALLOW Superuser access. THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DONT DO THIS
Step 5: Also, the first run will be a bit slow, the app has to unpack some additional binaries into its private data space.
Step 6: Please change "username" & "password" PROMPTLY and without FAIL.
Step 7: Go to Win/Mac and connect to the ip address displayed. Voila. You're in.
WARNING 1: FOR NOW ONLY THE SDCARD is visible. So dont post questions about why can't i see the NC Folders.
WARNING 2: Do copy a LARGE FILE over this as it is bound to fail. I have tried this with 2MB-4Mb files and not seen an issue so far & presumably 100Mb works as well . See this POST for more details. A fix is on the way.
FEEDBACK REQUESTED ON:
1. Battery Life - How does it affect if you leave it on all day. Please let me know so that i can compare it with mine & others
2. Speed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Uninstall any previous (non-APK) version of SambaAndroid you have. As root on your device:
Code:
# /data/local/samba/bin/samba-rc stop
# rm -r /data/local/samba
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/96-restart-samba
# rm /system/bin/dhcprootshell
works great! thanks for sharing!
Could you elaborate more about Step 7 please? I've installed samba on my NC (enabled superuser, changed username and password etc). Now on NC screen its displaying "Enabled - Running \\ip address \\ANDROID.
How would I connect to the ip address displayed on my nook? Step by step instructions would be appreciated.

Must Samba be installed on my desktop PC (maybe a server)? I have folders/files that are already being shared over my network through XBMC.
I have already enabled Samba on the nook. Is it supposed to "see" my existing files that are being shared on my network (i.e. movies)? How can I access the files being shared? Will my shared files be downloaded to the SDCard so I can view them?
Again please explain the process a little more.
What's the big deal?
Just get WiFi File Explorer in the Market - "no step" setup to see your Nook on your WiFi network!

After installing the Samba server on the NookColor and opening the Samba menu (on the Nook) to fill in a new user/password you may want to also enter a workgroup name the corresponds to the workgroup on your local network.
Reinitialize the Samba server on the NC after entering this info, then on your PC open windows explorer and scan your Network. The SDcard on the NC should show as a 'PC' on your network with the ID 'ANDROID' (unless you changed the ID in the Samba menu). You can then move files to/from the SDcard. Unless you set up 'shared files' in some way there will be no shared files, but the ability to move files wirelessly and browse the SDcard from your PC; very helpful for most.
You do not need any software on the PC ... also this assumes your router assigns IPs using DHCP
howdy.
im on windows7 and trying to get this up and running but failing.
ive changed user/pass, disabled then enabled, click network (on pc) and it never finds the nook.. ive tried to scan for wireless devices with no luck.
there is probably and easy/obvious solution for this, but i do not know what it is
//i can ping the nook and it responds, but it just doesnt show up anywhere..
Open Windows Explorer, or just "Computer" from the start button (orb). There is an address bar at the top of the window, similar to Internet Explorer. In the address bar, type this (for example):
\\192.168.1.100
(in your situation, type whatever IP address appears on the NC itself once the Samba server is started, the IP address I showed here is an example only)
Then hit <Enter> on your keyboard.
You can also use:
\\android
thanks,, i knew there was an easy solution.

Well, the EASY solution is pony up $3 and buy Websharing off the market. I tested it last night and it was completely painless. It works somewhat like adb wireless, (in that you just press "start" on the NC then connect on PC) but instead of using a terminal to connect you just connect to an IP in a browser and drop files directly to the SD card or NC itself there. Super easy, works perfectly. I loaded multiple video files last night and it was great.
I'm not sure how you could make it any easier (or cheaper) than the Samba Server mentioned in this thread. Fire up a Windows Explorer window, type in \\android in the address bar, and drag and drop files.
After you do this once, the computer can even finish typing the path for you. If that's too much work, just create a shortcut on the desktop that takes you straight to it.
So I just tried to sideload a book through wireless and the file transfered fine but I had to restart the NC to get it to come up in my books section and able to have it in a shelft etc.

Well, for the reason I stated; it's easier. I'm not saying this method is really hard, or that it's not worthwhile. I'm just saying if a really easy to use app with a good UI that basically does exactly this in a browser instead of a terminal is worth $3 to you then there is an option available
The transfer rate is quite quick and the UI is pretty awesome. I got it yesterday based on someone's recommendation in the sideloaded apps thread and it's pretty good. For my the ease of use is a nice feature because my girlfriend uses my nook as well, so not having her call me every time she wants to load a new movie or PDF is easily worth $3. YMMV.

Wouldn't using the "Media Scanner" utility that's in Development.apk (pulled from an Eclair emulator) prevent the need for a reboot?
Found a nifty tool on the Market called Browsix
After install point your browser to
Code:
http://ipaddress:portnumber
that comes up in the bottom of your screen.
Its a bit rough around the edges but works..
Webshare lite is another market app that has this functionallity. The paid version allows you to mount your Nook color as a hardrive on your PC. Then you can move directories or multiple files by cut and pasting 'till your hearts content. No wires needed. I often use it to paste audio book folders to my phone and it has been really helpful turning my NC into a true tablet.
I was using something like this, until someone pointed me towards the Samba Server. So now when I fire up the PC, I just browse to a network share on the NC and move files wirelessly.
EDIT: Well, I see you were the guy that pointed some to Samba. How is this better/different?
I tried browsix too - works great. One caveat: you don't even need to enter the IP address: just go to browsix.com on your desktop on the same wifi network as your nook, and you'll have access.

hi all
Have tried to connect Tab 10.1 to my mac but no joy. Apparently OS lion doesnt support kies BUT can i connect via usb in the same way i would on galaxy s 2? I cant find any info anywhere to help.
I want to transfer files from mac to tablet and using bluetoothis too slow due to file size.
Thanks
I'm interest too
try ftp
don't know about the usb hookup but i'm running osx leopard and found that the easiest way to connect to my macbook is with an ftp connection. i'm using cyberduck (free) on my macbook and an app called file expert on my tab. file expert is like astro, but it allows you to share files via an ftp connection.
once you get it set up your tab file tree will show up on your macbook screen and then you can just drag/drop from finder. the whole setup process took me like 5 minutes...
on my home wifi network i'm getting transfer rates of about 3mps. a little slow for huge files, like movies, but perfectly fine for anything else. it's actually really nice not having to hook up with a cable. i may just use this as my go-to setup even when android file transfer get's updated for the tab.
if you google it there's a thread somewhere that details how to set this up...

If you are wanting to sync with files and playlists in iTunes, i use iSyncr. There are free options for USB amd WiFi as well as Mac/PC. The full versions are only $.99 if i recall. Ive used it on my Hero, Evo, Epic, Transformer, and now Galaxy Tab10.1. I have synchronized videos, podcasts, and music. Not really tried photos. Another useful function: it has an option to push new photos, amazon mp3, and video files from your android device to your computer.
The developers are responsive and nice to deal with. So I highly recommend as this solution as stood the test of time and Android updates. That says alot as ive noticed some apps can easily fall off the market or become out of date.

wifi file sharing on webos is just one slick program for transfering files to and from the touchpad. no web address no nothing just hit network on win 7 and copy and paste to your hearts delight.
on android there is nothing similar unless I missed it. they all want you to point to ip:8080 or similar. but wifi file sharing is almost the same as using the usb cable but without the wire.
I emailed the author of wifi file sharing to see if he does apps for the android side but no reponse.
so is anything close on the android side?

Give wifi transfer a look see. There's both a paid and free version. It works fine for me.
Airdroid.

You can thank me later
the both of these are http'ip address and too cumbersome. wifi file sharing on the webos side is just click network on windows and drag and drop. way faster and better. tho the first one looks like the webos one it is not as no need for ip address.
On android ive been using smb server. Just sets up straightforward samba shared that show up in a network drive on windows.

thanks for the replies. guess it just does not exist on the android side. too bad as it is a slick program.

You can "pair" your TP with another box on your LAN in webOS but so what?
Using Wifi File Transfer in Android, all you need to do is assign a static IP to the TP and then, from any other device on your LAN, you can create a "bookmark" or "shortcut" with that TP's IP. From then on, all you need do is click the "bookmark" or "shortcut" and you are connected. If you don't find that satisfactory then I'll assume that you are nitpicking 'cause you don't like Android.
So, today im back with another guide, today ill be teaching you how to turn your Android TV Box into a personal Cloud!
A few of you may ask, why? Well theres a few reasons
1. These devices run off a 5v power supply
2. For the price they are, its definately the cheapest alternative to purchasing cloud space
3. For the specs, they are quite impressive
4. Not only can you use wifi, but these devices have LAN aswell
So for anyone who wants to do this, simply check out my youtube video, it takes a total of less than 2 minutes to set up(Deducting all my explaining)!
https://youtu.be/D_yPGkAmtII
Step by step -
1. Download and install SSHDroid on your device from the playstore or link below
2. Open the app, if the service is not started, click start at the top right, the status should change to ready
3. Download the setup server files i created from below and open the SetupServer.bat file
4. The script will prompt you for an IP address, in the SSHDroid app besides address you will see something like [email protected]:2222 your IP address is inbetween "[email protected]" and ":2222", in this case 192.168.1.109, type it in and press enter
5. You will notice 2 scripts are generated from that and a file, you can then run the CloudFileManager.bat or the CloudTerminal.bat depending if you wanna upload/download files from your cloud or do things within terminal
If you do wanna access the server from your device, you can download ESFileExplorer, open it and open the FTP tab
Click "add" and choose SFTP, then input the details that the script generated in details.txt
You can then transfer files between your phone and cloud!
Here are the files i said i would share for this

Definately a worthy solution to a cheap cloud storage
Any luck figuring that out?
I used Armbian+apache2(with PHP7.2)+Nextcloud server before but your cloud is runing on Android right? This is good idea. May be need a NAS drive like 2TB for storage. Android devices got poor wifi performance. I recomend LAN connection for cloud.

seems to be very minimal difference between WIFI and LAN, im guessing its using the hardware at its limit, i got 2.9mbps upload speed while the Beeting S1 was using an SSD as primary storage(apollo lake processor and 4GB RAM with Samsung evo SSD)
if i find a way to improve performance i will let you know, i just feel using TV box as a cloud server is a very efficient way of doing things for both the price, simplicity and flexibillity
My box has gigabit lan and I don't agree with you
There are good webservers for android that support php/database. I guess we can install Nextcloud. I'll try at my spare time.

What im saying is i think its a hardware limitation, the processors and the amount of RAM your device has will surely limit speeds(Upload/Download) somewhat.
I just have no idea what the limit is, but then again my internet is actual trash so you may be right, who knows
What if i want to access to it when I'm not in the same network? How can I do so?

You need to open the port it uses in your modem or router. The use your external IP and the port to connect to it outside of your network. Password protect everything though to be safe.
P.S. can anyone reupload the files?
