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.

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?

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
I am currently using adownloader.. but i am searching for downloader which allows you to add/queue files remotely from another android device or a windows pc.... is there such bittotrrent client? via a webgui would be the most feasible solution imo
Hi all, I finally got my android device to connect to my VPN server using NCP vpn client. I am able to connect but am unable to access network shares using es file explorer or connect to remote desktop connection for an in-network computer.
Can anybody help me out here.
Thank you
I am wondering how to control the BitKinex program that exists on my PC from my android. I am not looking to transfer files to my phone but to transfer files from a remote server - on to my PC - using my FTP client (BitKinex) - from my Android.
I have BitKinex setup to do this on my PC and it works great but I am wondering if I can do this from my Android device.
Thanks
