Hi everyone! I know this will not be a Z2 Tablet issue but any advice is appreciated!
I used ES File Explorer with my Xperia Z2 Tablet and Windows 10 desktop PC and all worked well. My PC failed so I purchased a new laptop and now I cannot get ES File Explorer to see the new laptop. I checked the server's IP address using Windows 10 settings > Network and Internet and can see the IPv4 address and also another quad number for IPv4 Servers and have tried both.
I also checked the username and I am very sure it is the email address that I use to log on to Windows 10. I also tried the Anonymous setting but nothing works. I get the screen stating login failed, WLAN is off, SMB server is out of network scope etc.
I also checked with Kaspersky because it manages the firewall but there are no conflicts there.
I will keep searching but any advice is much appreciated!

This solution worked a few times on both my Xperia Z3 mobile and Xperia Z2 Tablet, but now doesn't!
emailed the developer of ES File Explorer and awaiting a response..

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
Apologies, I would like to have posted in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653336) but I don't have enough posts. I have also searched to no avail.
Anyway, I've got Samba set up on my Galaxy S2. It's enabled and running. I can ping the ip address using cmd.
What I can't do is see my phone on my network/through Windows explorer and I'm wondering why not. Imust admit to being confused about the troubleshooting advice (https://sites.google.com/site/funkyfreshapps/) telling me to manually enter the devicename or ip address into Windows file explorer - I assume this means right clicking in the explorer and going through the 'Add a network location' wizard, but this also does not connect my PC to my phone.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hello all,
This is my first thread on this site as a new owner of an xperia Z tablet , I must say what a device
I have a question and I apologize if it's been answered already , how can I map the tablet to my PC wirelessly and transfer files?
Thx
You need something like airdroid but don't forget you have a quota
Sent from my Nexus 4
1. Install SSHDroid. Run it and you will see your XTZ IP address.
2. Download and run WinSCP. Connect to IP address above with port number is 2222 as set by default in SSHDroid. You can navigate to your XTZ to transfer files back and forth.
great thx for the input !
will try the sshdroid process and report back
If rooted, you can also install "Samba Filesharing", a Samba server for Android.
When running, you can access the internal storage from any SMB/CIFS capable device in the network, also from other Android devices (just use e.g. ES File Explorer).

If all you want to do is transfer media and document files, setup the tablet's Transferring files using Media transfer mode via Wi-Fi feature. Using this feature will cause the tablet to be displayed in Windows Explorer as Xperia Tablet Z and will provide access to the tablet's internal and external storage. Read starting at page 92 of the Xperia Tablet Z User Guide to learn how to setup the Transferring files using Media transfer mode via Wi-Fi feature.
Works like a charm ! thx again

You can also use PCC to connect wirelessly, sometimes for mobile it doesn't work, appaired my tablet yesterday, works like a charm even with Media Go transfert.
Wi-Fi connectvity
Thank you all. This helped me configure my device and transfer files wirelesly. Greetings
Here is my setup:
Nexus 7 2013 and Samsung Galaxy S4, both running ES File Explorer 3.0.5.3
Windows 7 x64 Pro (Hosting the files)
ASUS RT-AC66U
The system works just fine after a fresh reboot of my PC. After a few hours, I get the "Login Fails" error (plain text or SMB). The only way to fix it is to reboot my PC. I believe its a Windows 7 setting that causing this. I searched all over the net for a fix and none of them worked. I tried:
Enabling Guest Account
Changed Advanced Sharing Settings
Set "Everyone" as read in the File Share Window
Enabled Inbound/Outbound rules in the Advanced Windows Firewall
Enabled sending unencrypted passwords to SMB via Local Security Policy
I can go into more detail of the fixes I tried if needed. What is an alternative to sharing files from a Windows 7 machine to Android devices? I feel like Ill never get ES File Explorer to work. Thanks.
Try the AntTek Explorer. I have 3 machines running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a server running Windows Server 2008 x64, a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, a Samsung Galaxy S4, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, a Google Nexus 7, and a Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm using the Asus RT-AC66U as my main router and have a Linksys EA4500 and a Drink 5ghz single band both running in bridge mode and a Western Digital Wireless AC Repeater. All my mobile devices I've been able to setup the Asus under the network settings using AntTek as a my file browser. Also install AiCloud, which not only let's you access and stream music/videos when you're on the network, but you can stream from the USB drive remotely and connect to any computer on your network to share files or stream data.

I have this same exact issue with one of my computers, but the other computer always works fine.
Not sure what Windows setting is causing this issue.
This issue only applies to android devices where it will start giving login failed after a few hours, but other windows PC can still access those folders.

any update to this problem ? I have the same issue and it's driving me nuts.

Hey guys I tried all the apps in google play ( mac address ghost,mac spoofer and mac changer) to no avail. I get the same problem when I spoof the mac address where wifi wont recognize the password. Anybody have a solution for this? I am running stock rom and am rooted with busybox and supersu and quick terminal installed. A permanent or temporary solution would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!
Anybody knows where I could find the mac address in root explorer? Where is it stored? Thanks guys.
EDIT: I opened root explorer went into efs/wifi and changed the mac address on each file with text editor. The result is different mac address on my network but also shows my old mac address, so now when I connect to my network it shows 2 connections. I blocked my old mac address on my router settings but im still able to connect. Anybody experimenting with this let me know your results.
