or, just download the Google Media Server for PS3 and it will serve to your N900...

simple solution for people who would rather wait for a proper file manager to emerge.

I don't have an N900 but on the N810 samba file sharing works. At least it does with Ubuntu 9.10 and my N810 using a wireless router with NAT for the network connections. All I have to do is select file sharing on the Ubuntu desktop side and it appears in the N810 File Manager.

If you are looking to integrate directly into a Windows network then it isn't going to be the same as a Windows laptop as the N900 is a POSIX machine and Windows uses an additional layer ontop based on the old LAN Manager system.

As advised in an earlier post, Wizard Mounter does provide a simple solution.

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)

I think the question regarded using the n900 to access files on the pc.

In your case, /home/user on the n900 is accessed, so why not ssh as user rather than root?

for mounting sshfs like user (without root) you can use "afuse". I ported it several days ago to extras-devel.

Because the user doesn't have a password, which is a prerequesite for ssh

Is there the possibility to manage/stream/download files from other phones over bluetooth?

sudo gainroot

<your password here>
