I have been trying various combinations in the sharing and security tabs. However all efforts had failed so far. Anyone got in working before?
Same for me. It worked with 2.1. But no longer with 2.2. With ES File Explorer SMB works, but no streming.

yes,
I had to set up directory level shares on XP and login to the shares with archos for the secure ones, but worked.
ES worked either way, but didn't let me do something so I wanted to use built in.
Try TwonkyMediaServer & set Upnp in the Router.
Works perfect with Stock Filemanager !
Streams Video, Music etc.

Can you share exactly the steps you took to make it work? I think i tried that too and failed. I might have missed something.

Does it work with all media formats? I tried Upnp with windows media player but mkv streaming is not working
I a little lost on this too. At one time, SMB worked on 2.2 (i reset my device alot), it picked up my file server and I could navigate though it using the 'Files' app.
My latest reset, no dice. Doesn't pick up my "\\server\public" (Windows server).
I'd like to know if anyone has a fix for this... I'm a bit pre-occupier with other projects or I'd research it myself.
I've shared my folders on my xp machine, turned off the xp firewall. Now I'm able to access my files through Files and SMB on my Archos 101.

I have tried the exact same thing but it didn't work for my machine
One of the things I did because I have a reasonably secure network is create the shares I wanted (I use $ at end to not create clutter on most computers in house) then I set permissions to everyone all so that it didn't hassle for permission.
On an xp home computer I just received used, I set up a drive level share with a new name and it works, too.
It seemed like I had to connect once through blackmoon or EStrongs before they started showing up in the system files app.
Just tested video streaming through video app, too.
Strange!
2.1 SMB works well. XP and Linux/Samba.
2.2 only Linux works, no longe XP.
Since 2 days: neither XP nor Linux works. No changes at A70 or Server.
ES Explorer works.

installed twonky server....worked just like that no messing watching right now!
only thing thats ever worked for me!
I turned off the XP firewall and it worked. But I don't think this is the trick because there are Vista and W7 boxes on the network that were invisible before and became visible after turning off only he XP firewall. I think changing the firewall caused the SMB system to refresh the whole network
With the new Firmware 2.0.71 SMB on XP works for me.
Earlier with 2.1 and the update to 2.2 it didn't work
i have samba running and never changed the configuration, it was working well win my archos 101, now for some strange reason it's asking for a user and pass (which is not required for my conf, share) and no matter what i do it won't access the files anymore ...
Anybody had that problem ?
is archos/froyo moody :-(
Archos 32 - the smb works on and off on 2.0.71 and 2.1.2 firmware. It is flaky and decides when it wants to work and when it has had enough. lol
I can always access the server, and see the list of files, but after playing some media, it will start with the errors, saying it cannot play media or media server error or something like that. It seems to happen when I have long named nested folders, or long file names and such, seems to overwhelm it and then any media attempted is borked. Once I get these errors, I can not even play locally stored media. Oh, my favorite error is the file incomplete or damaged message, even on local files, or files I had just played. Reboot the device, and I can play the same file it just had an issue with.
Upgrading to 2.1.2 firmware didn't resolve these issues, but fixed others.
I would love samba to be resolved and reliable.
FWIW - the files are being served from a Vista share
I have a password for my XP.
i dont know if it works if you dont have a pw. then the network cant share..
maybe i am wrong.

I have a password on my shares, and I can access them no problems. It is when I am accessing files that the stock video player or stock file manager give me errors with playing the media. Even after getting those errors, I can still access the shares, just can't do anything with the files. smb is still working at that point as I am able to open new shares or open new paths and see new files, this information is not in the fusesmb cache so it is pulling it from the server correctly, it is just when it is going to stream media, primarily video is where I have this issue. I have not tested enough with audio and photos though.
This is probably a n00b question (which is appropriate since I'm a n00b . . .) but I have a home server running Win7. All my movies and photos and music are on it. I have no problems using USB to transfer media to my Streak (and to my awesome, dirt cheap Chinese tablet), but it would be great to be able to just connect to my network shares and copy the files over the WiFi. Is there an Android app that can do this? Paid apps OK.
If you just want to copy the files you can use ES File Explorer, SwiFTP, AndFTP, or you can turn your phone into a Samba server and mount your SD Card as a network share and use windows explorer to copy to your phone.
ES Explorer worked great getting to FTP server. Getting to a LAN computer required me to enter the LAN IP address as a "server" and also woked fine.

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...

Can you help me out by pointing me the thread? I'm having a really bad time trying to find it.
Thanks
EDIT: Forget it, it's so easy it took me 30 seconds to do.
Thanks anyway
http://www.simplehelp.net/2011/07/05/how-to-transfer-files-from-your-mac-to-your-android-tablet/ this must do it!
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.

What is the best drive format to use to share data between Android, iOS, and MAC OS drives? FAT32 seems to be the only option.
I have a 1TB GoFlex that I got as an upgraded warranty replacement. I have a gigabit Wireless N NetGear router with a readyshare USB port. I formatted it as HFS+ via direct connection to my iMAC; however found out from NetGear that HFS is not reliable for read/write. So I have to figure out another use for this drive.
I use a Lacie 4TB Network Max to TimeMachine Backup both my MacBook Pro and iMAC. Both are intel and 2009 and 2010 (respectively.) I also keep my iMAC user drive copied and sync'd to the Network Max. The MBP is a subset of the iMAC (mothership ) media and is on a 750gb eSATA 7200rpm. I have a 2nd 750gb eSATA 7200rpm in a portable bay that I clone to from the MBP. So I already have 2 Time Machine Backups, 1 SYNC's Copy of all Media/Files, as well as a clone of the MBP.
I am thinking of syncing the iMAC media and files to the new 1TB, but also perhaps use it to backup my Android devices over the network. I currently pay for space via MyBackUp Pro, but it costs $2 a month and it does not cover all data.
So to try and make a long story short, here are my questions:
1) What is the best format to use for MAC, iOS, and Android?
2) What are the best Android Options for the Galaxy Tab to backup/read/write to a network drive.
Sorry, I know this was lengthy... but trying to put the drive to good use, but not overly duplicate myself (although you can never have too many backups on large media libraries, right? )
Thank you!

look into setting up a smb share and search for the many android file managers that can mount a smb share. Also look into cifsmanager if you are rooted
Are there better alternatives to copying files from a Mac to the Prime outside of Android File Transfer?
AFT is always disconnecting on me mid transfer, usually resolved by rebooting the Prime. This is incredibly annoying. I would like another way to directly transfer files from my Mac that is faster and more reliable.
Looking for something other than Micro SD card (extra copying step that way) or Dropbox (too slow for video files).
Thanks!
SwiFTP will run an FTP server on your Android device that you can connect to for file transfers.
File Manager HD will connect to a network share from your device.
FolderSync will sync folders to/from device and many types of connections (FTP, SSH, etc.)

Thanks! I will check out those options. Surprised it got this many views before someone replied.
Dropbox.. come on now, 1 obvious easy easy choice
and you should check out AirDroid..

See my original post. Way too slow to transfer movies.
Actually, i'm also looking for a good File transfer app (from TFP to windows and from windows to TFP)
Atm i'm using ES File Explorer but the data throughput is complete garbage. I thought it might've been caused by the wifi issues but considering it takes 10 minutes to transfer 150MB (while near the router and having a good connection 50 dBm / speedtest saying a bandwith of 13Mbit)
Edit: right now i'm getting a throughput of 450 KB when transferring files using ES file explorer. (probably the same while using other tools but isn't this way 2 low?)
Edit2: Airdroid seems to have a rly high throughput when transferring files. Still looking for a way to stream videos.. ES file explorer seems nice but the throughput is to low. File manager HD doesn't allow DICE player to use HW playback (for some weird reason)
Any suggestions instead of hosting an FTP server?
Use adb
On the tablet enable usb debug in the settings/developer. Connect prime by usb, install android sdk on the mac, open terminal and type: adb push file-name-with-path /mnt/sdcard/Movies
This method complecated, but you can transfer files >4Gb (AFT don't support a big files) and fast because use usb, not wifi.
And, you can drag and drop file from finder to the terminal for insert a file path in the command line.
I'm going to test out Airdroid and SwiFTP and see which one I like better. One of them looks like it will suite my purpose.
Thanks!
It's funny... I own a Mac, but when it comes to terminal commands, I'm better with Windows. I know command line stuff so much better than linux or unix shell. I work on Windows servers though... but I love my Mac. Don't know ADB that well, but I think I have some documentation on it. I should probably learn.
I think the winner is going to be SwiFTP. I don't need anything pretty... and I can use FileZilla which is the client I usually use for everything else. I like to see the data transfer rates easily.
bBest alternative Use FTP I use this application in your mac Forklift in mac and Mini File explorer in my Android, But u need to be connected in same wifi hope it can helps:angel:
