Hello,
I am newbie here. Please point me some apps to manage shared files over WiFi network. I want to see shared folders, copy files etc ...
With native file manager on N900 it couldnt be done

Probably the easiest way is to wait on something like wizard-mounter for the N900, which would let you mount windows file shares and browse them within the existing file manager. As an alternative, you could set up rsync. You wouldn't be able to browse, but it would be useful for syncing documents/media files.

hi,

Can i use my maemo browser to access shared files on the network? if i can , how do i do that?

Thanks
TOM

obviously we can not

I can't believe it's not possible to find other computers on my privqte network qnd share/transfer files between them...!!!...

Well ... there are activities towares samba, but this requires some effort.
For now, I would recommend using sshd and scp/sftp.
Maybe there are even nice GUI for that?

I use the ssh server and simply scp using gftp or similiar.
Works very well for me.

using ssh too, a alittle slower than cable.

It is possible, just maybe not the way you want. For one example, see the post by hallabro.

1. Install sshfs on your PC
2. Configure a root account on your N900 and set a password
3. Create a directory on your PC where you will mount the N900 i.e. ~/N900
4. On your PC issue the command sshfs root@your.N900's.IP.address:/home/user/ ~/N900

Yes, it is a bad idea to be using a root account to transfer files (mainly because the normal user cannot use them without them being chowned)
