Hello,
I'm using Windows 8.1 Professional on my PC. I don't have any password, I just turn on my PC and it goes on desktop. I shared a folder on my PC with "Everyone" and "ANONYMOUS LOGON" profiles having full control on the share. When I go on ES File Explorer, go on LAN section and select "scan" my PC shows up. (192.168.2.2) But when I try to connect with anonymous login, it says:
Login Failure
This may be caused by:
-WiFi is off, (No, my WiFi is on.)
-SMB server is out of network scope, (?)
-The IP is invalid, (IP is not invalid, that's my PC's LAN IP)
-Blocked by the firewall, (I have no firewall on the PC)
-SMB service is off. (SMB service is not off)
I also have a Raspberry Pi, and I'm able to mount this shared folder on my RPi, without any problem. (by using sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.2.2 /mnt/192.168.2.2/folder) If my RPi can mount this folder without any problem, my Xperia Z2 should mount this without a problem aswell, is that right?
So what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

You need to have a password for you account on your PC otherwise Windows does not let you share anything at all even if you set up a share as part of a security measure, this is default Windows behaviour.
If you want to have your computer login automatically when you turn your PC on and have a password setup, go to run and ype in "control userpasswords2" uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use this cumputer" apply and ok, it'll ask you for your password when you click apply.

That's interesting. So how am I accessing the share via my RPi then? I don't think I must have a password installed on my PC.

It shouldn't be accessing it but Windows is known to have really dumb shares anyway. Try it with a password and see what happens.

have you change your active network to Home Network?
and try go to Advanced Sharing Setting to turn off the Password Protected Sharing.
because it works for me.
Here is the solution
Hello ...
If you still need help. What you have to do is the following:
"ON WINDOWS"
1) You have to activate the smb1 protocol, which windows 10 by default has disabled (also works for windows 7 or windows 8). To activate the smb1 protocol, download this regedit file; which you will execute as administrator: [h t t p : / / v i w r i g h t . c o m / 1 8 2 7 6 8 9 9 / a c t i v a t e s m b 1 m e g a]
2) Make sure you have shared resources correctly, so you can navigate from your android device.
3) Restart the computer so that the changes are effective.
"ANDROID DEVICE"
1) Download the apk es file explorer pro Dark Version totally free for you: [ h t t p : / / v i w r i g h t . c o m / 7 0 D x ]
2) Go to the configuration section lan, then press scan. Then choose your equipment when it is presented in the scan ... it will ask for username and password. In user place the username with which you login in windows and in the password, you put the key of your username to log in windows. And ready!! That's it, you'll have access to all the resources shared on that computer. You can copy, paste, move, create, etc ... within any resource.

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 have also been facing same problem.could not solve as above,my pc is running win 7 and i'm on checkrom3.1.1 with siyah kernal.How to share files on LAN apart from Kies Air( i have not installed it in my ROM.Pls help
I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).
On my PC I run Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit Desktop with Sambas installed OK so that I share folders & printers with Windows & Linux PCs. I've installed Samba Filesharing app on my ZTE Blade to file share as USB file sharing is awkward on ZTE Blade as it seems to disable wifi connection. I've done Enable on the Menu options. I'm now getting on Samba Filesharing 'Title' screen: Enabled - Running,\192.168.1.4 (i.e. correct fixed ip address assigned by router using phone's MAC address), \ANDROID, Wakelock Active. But when trying (in Nautilus on Ubuntu PC) to 'Connect to Server' (with parameters of SSH & 192.168.1.4), I get popup displaying 'Could not display "sftp://192.168.1.4/", because the host could not be found.'. Phone connects to router OK as I can check email etc without phone SIM card in phone. I can ping phone from PC. but not vice versa: tried using Terminal Emulator to ping PC from phone: tested first by phone ping itself but don't know how to stop Terminal Emulator as no Ctrl key on soft keyboard when unsuccessful. BTW Advanced Task Killer does not kill Samba Filesharing! Any ideas please?
Hi,
So I am trying to setup the below SSHFS app for Android on my phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaos9k.sshfsandroid
The dev has not responded to my emails and provides next to no instructions...
Here is what I have done on my own:
On my Pc:
1. Setup Cygwin SSH modules
2. Am able to connect via putty to my home PC through both my internal and external IPs (basically yes SSH server is working as a service on my PC and I can connect from my own network and off of it on another windows PC)
3. Port 22 is forwarded in my router
So prereq one to one this app of needing SSH server setup on home computer is met
Next up on my phone:
1. I am rooted on a Samsung Galaxy S4
2. Have Busy Box
3. Phone is 4.2 which the app experimentally supports
4. I have FUSE module support on my phone
So I believe from the above my phone meets the prereqs to mount SSHFS shares.
On to the app itself:
To setup a share I have specified the following:
1.Name : has no bearing just for user ease
2.Host: using my external IP
3.Remote Path: Have tried all sorts of paths to files on my PC (including just basic /\ and blanks)
4.Mount Point:\mnt\SSH (have confirmed this works as previously it would not accept my mount point. This folder is mounted and the app can see it)
5. Automount (checked)
7. User name and Passwords...used the same ones I used in putty to connect to my server
So with all of the above I keep getting the below error:
/SH:<stdin>[1]:readlink:not found:No such file or directory.
I believe the above error is because I am not properly inputting my remote path I would like to mount....I ideally would like to mount my entire D drive....but for the sake of getting this started I would like to be able to mount anything just to prove it works.
Like I mentioned I can use a laptop on a different WIFI network to connect to my SSH server and browse files...so in theory this should work...If anyone can help me sort out the proper remote path syntax I would really appreciate the help.
I have been searching for a while to find a way to connect from Windows 7 Network to android shared folders. I had no success. Can anyone help?
[I tried sambadroid, but when I type the IP of the android device in Windows "Run" and hit enter it responds that "Windows cannot access \\192.168...."]

Thank you for your reply. But, as I said, what I want is that android shared folders be accessible in Windows Network.

This app does not need Chrome or any other browser indeed. It works with Network (in Windows Explorer window).
But a problem still remains which I am going to ask you. The problem is that when I click on the device name (ANDROID) in Network, a message pops up and says that "...cannot access \\ANDROID". I am forced to open Run in Windows and type the IP of the device and hit enter. This way the IP appears in Network and I can access the device shared folder. Why clicking on ANDROID does not work?
