How to Install Samba to access PC shares ??
 

Hi. I would like to wirelessly connect my new Nokia 770 to my PC so that I may be able to tranfer files wirelessly such as PDF documents and mp3 files.
I was trying to install Samba, but it says that I still need to find Smbfs and install that as well. Where can I find this Smbfs file and how do I add it ??

Same here. There seems to be none helps for this problem.

How to access windows workgroup's shares with N770?
What to install on 770 and where. All those FAQ on maemo.org with CIFS and NFS are not too clear.

We need simple instructions how to implement this!

Someone just asked about this about week ago: howtoaccesswindowscifs

Re: How to Install Samba to access PC shares ??
 

Like i said, the info on that FAQ in inacurate, for instance:

'mount -t cifs //_10.10.10.10/''Nokia770_ myPC -o domain=noworknogroup,user=urbancowboy,password=sec retpassword **

WTF. is the ' mark nessessary and the ** marks also? after cleanin those up, system hails invalid param...

so, what to write to etc/fstab?

One more thing: If the HowToAccessWindowsCIFS manual there are two versions of cifs.ko module:
cifs.1.2006.26-8.tar.gz (N770, first IT2006 release)
cifs.2.2006.39-14.tar.gz (N770 second IT2006 release)

what about "SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin" flashed N770?

Re: How to Install Samba to access PC shares ??
 

Still this install screams for smbfs pakages..
I found (acording to relasenotes on SambaBrowser)
smbfs and commons from http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/main/s/samba/
but N770 hails for incompatible package from all of the deb files.
smbfs_3.0.22-3_armel.deb for instance and samba-common_3.0.22-3_armel.deb.

The reason why I try do download them to MMC is that I can't find smbfs on my AppManager, although I have http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/ mistral main included..


I'm very confused here. :)

How access Windows Workgroup shares with Nokia 770 - DONE
 

So much for others advices.

With below, regular XP's / servers Workgroup with shares is visible to N770:
My environment:

* N770 OS2006 3.2006-49-2
* Workgroup with several XP's and Windows Server 2003 with NO extra installs like NFS or anything. just shares done.
* DropBear SSH installed on Device and Wi-Fi connection LAN ofcource.

1. Extract with PC the http://handhelds.org/~fanoush/maemo/...6.39-14.tar.gz out comes cifs.ko
2. copy this via USB Cable or via MMC reader to you MMC and open File Manager.
3. Copy cifs.ko to your Devices Decuments
4. open SSH connection to N770
- mdkir /etc/modules
- cp /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/cifs.ko /etc/modules/
- cd /etc/modules/
- insmod cifs.ko, system hails "Using cifs.ko".
- cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
- mkdir MyServer
- cd MyServer
- mount -t cifs //192.168.0.x/sharename ./ -o username=user -o password=pass


LEAVE - ON THE FRONT AWAY! :)


Close SSH's and File Manager etc.. Open File Manager and NOW you have under Documents/MyServer in which your files is visible. I do not have Windows FireWall, and My FW did not hail for any alter incoms (Server High settings).

Hope this helps.

One problem: Settings does stick so you have to insmod and mount after booting the device.

Question: acording to mount what to put in etc/fstab?
and where to add insmod so that module is automatically started?

SMBBrowser successfully saw my shares (actually a "windows" share on my Ubuntu desktop) but couldn't mount it. Anyone have any luck?
