is there a samba server for the n900 available?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but the search didn't give me any useful results.
SCP is all good and well but I'd like to have direct file access so I can edit stuff directly on device.
@Aydan: You can edit stuff directly on the device, use Putty on your machine and install mc on the N900 (apt-get install mc), then log in to the N900 with Putty from your machine, and use mcedit to edit your files. Or any other text based editor for the N900.
There is ftp server which should be pretty much as good as smb server for any file transfering purposes on windows. For osx it of course won't work as easily, as osx is teh sux0r in that regard
Well, i'm using WinSCP already, but what I'd like to do for example is use Notepad++, which i can't do with ssh.
And there's always the the case of you being at somebody elses' place and wanting to quickly tranfer files ofer wifi. Now I always have to download WinSCP to do that. smbd would definitely make things easier in the windows environment.

You can do that if you use a ftp client for ftps like filezilla and connect to your n900 over 'ssh' with it. you only have to set it up, so that it opens the filetype you want to edit in your favourite editor. Then you can doubleclick on it to edit. When you close the file in your editor it gets loaded back up.
Edit: Well, i guess i should read more carefully. I think filezilla is still the better choice than winscp because it's more flexible. I know it's not the solution but maybe it helps.
