Network File Sharing Server on PPC

[beowulf6]

Hi all.

Does out there exists a Samba(SMB) Server for Pocket PC to share a Folder on the Pocket PC for PCs in the WLAN?

it dont need to be a big SMB-Server. a small Server only to share one Folder would be more than enough.

i read on google that WinCE have something like that with Smbserver.dll

thanks
and keep up this great site.

I am also looking for a way to share my Windows Mobile folders on my LAN, so that I can access them from my computers...

Anyone know how to do it? I can't find any setting to share them. Is there a 3rd party software that will allow me to share them?

sharing

For sharing over WLAN you should use FTP server.......
Install FTP server software in your pc and FTP client software in PPC.........you can also do visa-versa..............

i already use ftp. But i thought it would be better when not every PC need a FTP-Client to access the shared files.

Sometimes i want to share Files in a Network and it would be easier for most of the people to use the build in - file sharing.

//Edit: I finaly found something like this, but only for Symbian Phones.

I believe most versions of Windows have a FTP client built into Explorer (may be readonly).

OK. The correct answer is here:

Change HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLevel to 1 from 3, not to 2 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa925018.aspx) as "You can also set the LmCompatibilityLevelServer value to 2 or to 3. Both of these specify that the server will only use NTLM v2. Authentication will fail if the client is not capable of NTLM v2 protocol. For more information, see Authentication Services Registry Settings".

And check to make sure HKLM\Comm\Redir\SmbSignatureMode is set to 0 (not recommended 'cos it may cause problems with windows servers), 1 or 2, but not 3 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921092.aspx).

And you can try to set HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods to 3 to see if it makes any difference. To me, 2 works fine.

No need to modify samba configurations if you are running a recent version of samba (3.0.28 right now). Anyway, you can always try to add "use spnego = no" (maybe "client use spnego = no" or "spnego = no" as stated and/or quoted in other posts/web pages, I'm not sure of it.) to see if it makes any difference in your situation/samba version.
