PriSim Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Basically all these kind of apps run smb services on android in order to share the files over a port (ftp, upnp etc) so for sharing you must start that service in order to share your files between pc and android, with out service you can't . also you have to set permissions for folder and file because android use linux kernel means it is half or more than half linux. So my conclusion is you must install an app and set you parameters to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTouch Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 ok, took some yak shaving, but as usual, the answer was ridiculously obvious (slaps forehead) SambaDroid 2.1.2 Pro Requirements: Android OS 2.3 + , root Size: 28.2mb Overview: SambaDroid is a native port for Android of the popular Samba for Linux. This application allows you to share/manage files on your device easily from any PC of your network: once started just type [Win]+[R] in your computer, write \\SAMBADROID and enjoy!

misieeq Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 thanks for the solution! I have previously used the Solid Explorer's function to share the files over FTP, but I will try it your way now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
