It's a bit of a hassle to have to edit the config file & restart the server every time your IP address changes though.

Set your phone's IP address on your router to always give it a static IP adress.

If I'm on my router, I use SCP, UPnP or even NFS to copy.

TinySMB's advantage is that it lets you easily share files on someone else's Windows network without installing any software or touching their router.


(also, my idiot Linksys WRT54GL can't allocate a static IP address via DHCP, but that's another story)

Btw.
I like tinysmb but i have problems with it

-I seems to disconnect itself from time to time (middle of transfer or just before connecting)
-Transfer speed is slower compared to SSH
-To connect from win 7 64-bit I have to use IP address of N900. N900 is shown in network but if i click it nothing happens. By using \\ipaddressofn900 to explorer address field it works.

Actually this is why I sometimes would like to PAY for apps so that I can demand one click functionality without tweaking and reporting bugs :)

I tried TinySmb and everytime i try to copy a file from my computer (windows 7) to my phone i get the message: "To many files currently in use. Quit one or more programs, and then try again". It transfers the file but its 0kb, no data is actually there.

I dont have the file open or anything. Neve see this message before. It does it with any type of file i try.

Agreed, Wizard-mounter + a filemanager works well.

You'll need to write a shell script to mount with custom ports numbers, e.g. using ssh tunnels.

Install Personal IP Address so that you can see the phone's IP address on it
Install tinysmb & start it
If using Windows, open Windows Explorer & type //(ip address shown on your phone) in the address bar

The directory you have set up to share in tinysmb will then show up in Windows Explorer.

run a local FTP server on your desktop?

Has anybody an idea how to mount a tinysmb share in Ubuntu?
I see the files in Nautilus in "smb://192.168.2.100/mydocs/"
But I'm to stupid to mount the share.
I tried e.g.
Code:

# sudo smbmount //192.168.2.100/MyDocs /media/n900a
and get
Code:

mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

or
Code:

sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.2.100/MyDocs /media/n900a
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

What's wrong? Any logs where should I look?

In ubuntu or other gnome based desktops you can just go to the places menu, choose connect to server and enter your details under 'windows share'. when you choose to add a bookmark, your n900 will be accessible trough the places menu. It's mounted in /home/username/.gvfs if i'm correct.
