got it working now. i messed with the samba shares instead but i think i got a fireware update and its all good now.

a bit disappointed with the speed tho cant even stream movies.

any oen care to tackle that monster of a question. pls don't be over whelmed i know its a lot. but to the brave soul who tries to answer it many thanks an b e unto you. I reads through a few pages and couldnt exactly figure out what it is. not much help on google searches eather

It's a program to mount network file shares (either SMB/CIFS from Windows, or NFS from UNIX/Linux) on the Nokia tablets (N800/N810/N900).

We all want more but I understand it's being worked on. With only one person working in spare time, patience is a virtue with open source.

I'd rather have low speed than no speed, however. If you need to move massive amounts of data, there are alternatives, like USB or other protocols that don't have the same limitations, like FTP.

Drawback being, FTP needs to copy the file over first, so you need the space and likely for the file to end first.

All and all, I like it. And checking back every few days to see if any speed has been gained.

Oh, and, there's a bug somewhere in the SMB or WM with Ubuntu SMB, or SOMETHING. I was at a friends' house, he has Ubuntu and I tried to copy over a movie N900 to PC.

Used CLI (cp), used MC (F5), and every time the file didn't play right. MD5Sum was different. Very odd. I copied it fine using the File Manager that comes with the N900.

At home, I use XP file sharing and CLI and MC both work fine. Odd indeed.

The resulting file had regular glitches in it, the movie kept skipping, we both (programmers) assumed there was some buffering flush error involved, since it seemed too regular to be flukes. The FM native to N900 worked, but the file never finished, even though the length was OK and the file played fine, MD5 was OK, but the FM froze at 99% or so and never finished (I ended up killing the transfer).

There is a mistake in .deb, because two files are installed in the root directory, where they don't belong.

@b0unc3 Thanks for the excellent software . Now I can log into corporate share drive with VPN and wizard mounter . One problem is the share drive is having around 70 folders under directory /corp , which takes much long time to load .

I am wondering how can I config wizard mounter to go even further directory like /corp/CTO , I tried many times but always tells me no such devices or address .

@rooted : thanks to report it, I'll fix it in the next release.

@deter3 : if I understand correctly, there is no way to do that at the moment.

Thanks for this. It's working just fine but the speed is a bit low.
Edit: I've tried to stream an avi file from my Desktop and it's very slugish

I also tried to manually mount using:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

It was even slower. Anyone able to stream video from a mounted location?

I cannot get any mounts to appear in file manager, which I expect is due to a simple syntax error on the server address or remote directory lines.

From another Windows machine, from the server called Myserver. one of the shares (DATA) is displayed as follows:

\\Myserver\DATA

Would someone please post the correct syntax for the entries required to properly configure Wizard Mounter? For example:

Server Address: 192.168.1.5
Remote Directory: downloads

the above from a previous post does not work, as the server address seems to require the leading // forward slashes. Does the remote directory line require a full path, forward or back slash(es) etc?

Thanks

Please scan back to my post and try the "net use" command from a Windows machine as typed. If it works, then WM needs to have this:

Server: MyServer (make sure it works by PING)
Remote: DATA
User: username
Password: password

Does the WM say "mounted successfully"? If not, different problem. Also, you might need for the share to have a user and pass for it to work correctly.

So:

a) make sure you can mount via NET USE from another Windows machine, WITH user/pass

b) ping from the N900, make sure you get a reply (you might need root access for ping - don't remember)

c) if all goes well, from NET USE \\PC\SHARE /user:USER pass you should have your four parameters.

Note there are no forward slashes in the PC name, and the path is not supported unless it has none in WMounter, so no DATA/Me, just DATA.

Also, there are no slashes in paths for NET USE, it takes backslashes. Forward slashes make up an UNC path, the kind Explorer takes as address. Make sure the line is correctly used from the previous post. If it doesn't work, you have a server issue. Post the error code from the Windows machine and I'll dig in.
