Browsing Windows Shares in 2008
 
I don't know how I missed it all this time (possibly b/c usually on my mac) but last night I just saw that you can browse Windows file shares in Filemanager in 2008.

What through me off was seeing the Samba stuff was not installable, so I guess I figured it was "on the way" and not here.

I did notice that the only way to refresh the shares seemed to be by reloading Filemanager, but perhaps I missed something.

So, I posting this because maybe someone else missed it and just needed a heading that was a little different. THIS is a very useful feature.

Are you able to see all of the shared directories on your Windows machine? I'm asking because, while I can see the shared drive (and access it), it's empty (i.e., all I can do is open the drive -- I can't actually see any other folders/files).

I can see all the shares on my Xp box. I just got browsing my XP shared folders working a few days ago. My issue was that my Norton firewall had to be configured to allow the N800 to access them. Before that I could not see any shares, not even the computer.

possible thread hijacking...

would samba on linux show differently than shared drives on a windows machine in FileManager? how do i set up FileManager so that i can see my shares? i think i read that user authentication is not supported as of yet. is this true?

Tim, I can access the shares on 1 XP 64 PC and 2 Vista PCs. Vista took some configuring, of course.

Samba on linux will show as well providing your shares are set up correctly to allow anyone's access.

What I'd like to know is how to access my memory card folders from a Windows PC via wi-fi... Can it even be done ?

Yup , it can be done via Putty (a ssh client)

i guess i wont be able to browse them, as i enforce user-based security. there is no means to provide user/passwd credentials?
