Possible To Browse Zaurus Files Wirelessly?

[tombraider]

The only time I have been able to connect directly wirelessly to the internal files on the Zaurus was with OZ on the 5500.  I used ftp://root@192.168.1.113:4242/ in Network Neighborhood on Windows XP Home and was able to directly access the internal files and both the cf and sd cards. (OZ is truly great in some respects!  My ConnectPlus card worked right out of the box on it too.)

Is there any way I can do the same with my C1000 and my wireless card?

I've tried various combinations of ftp://root@192.168.129.201:4242/ and so forth but no success.

Ialready can connect through using the usb cable but would like to do it wirelessy if possible.

Thanks in advance.

did you try \\[ip]\home ?

eg: explorer \\192.168.1.113\home

If you flash Cacko ROM, it will be possible without any additoinal configuration.
Just connect to the zaurus' IP using SMB protocol (i.e. entering \\192.168.x.y in the Windows Explorer addres line.

If you want to see more dircetories in the listing on the PC, just link them into /home/samba on the Zaurus.

or wouldn't you just add them into smb.conf?

How about just \\zaurus\home? It works for me...

[tombraider]

That doesn't work wirelessly for me...only when the usb is connected.
Perhaps I have a setting that is wrong.

This is the error message I get when trying to add to network neighborhood:

This is the error I get when trying to connect and map a drive in explore:

I typically use ssh to traansfer files over the network.  You can download a nice Windows ssh client from www.ssh.com

Tried PuTTY.  That doesn't work either.
Tried disabling Windows Firewall...still no go.

but you are not on the cacko rom and I'm unsure if samba is on the stock rom.  You will have to either install samba or install cacko rom.  check your /etc/inted.conf file for entries pertaining to smb and nmb.

Tried this...didn't work.  I entered \\192.168.129.201\home at Start - run.

I tried to change WORKGROUP = ZAURUS to the name for my own "workgroup on my PC network but am not "allowed" to delete, rename or change the file in /usr/lib.rom/samba/ and if I do "su
 mount / -o rw,remount" at the console,  it STILL says it's a read-only file system and I can't delete it or rename it.


EDIT:
I managed to change the workgroup name in the smb.conf located at /home/root/usr/lib/samba/ and rebooted the Zaurus and now it shows up in my WORKGROUP on the PC but still get an error when I try to connect:
error #3

or wouldn't you just add them into smb.conf?

you will need to authenticate to your Zaurus, so unless you are logged into you winxp machine as user zaurus, the zaurus will not accept your user as valid.

you can do the following from a command prompt in xp:

net use z: \\192.168.1.113\home /user:zaurus

or

net use z: \\zaurus\home /user:zaurus

when asked for the password hit enter (if you havent changed your password on cacko) or provide the password for zaurus user.

this will map your Zaurus to your Z: drive. You can substitute Z with any unused drive letter from D-Z

Thanks, Meanie, for your help,  but I get the message, "The semaphore time period has expired. " when I type "net use z: \\zaurus\home /user:zaurus" at a command prompt.

That seems to be the same as mapping a drive which I already tried and did not work.

Why is it others have no difficulty just browsing wirelessly with \\zaurus\home and I have these authentication problems?  I don't know how I would sign in to my PC as "zaurus".    

Think I will set this aside for the moment and try it another day.   I DID try with my laptop and have the exact same problem so it must be a configuration problem originating in the zaurus c1000 itself.
EDIT: FIXED
Okay, discovered that USB Samba connection did not work either .  I KNOW it worked with the Sharp ROM so I went back and found an old smb.conf file from the Sharp ROM and copied that into /home/root/usr/lib/samba/  after I modified it a bit to put in my workgroup name and add wlan0 and wlan1 (for good measure).  REBOOTED the Zaurus and then USB worked and wireless worked!  I'm a happy camper....and Daniel3000 helped me figure out how to "see" more directories...thanks.

Here's the new smb.conf that I used in case it's of ANY help to someone else....remember to change your workgroup name to YOUR workgroup name for YOUR network:

Code: [Select]

[global]      
# workgroup is either a domain name or a workgroup name
    workgroup = MSHOME
    log file = /dev/null
#
# encrypt passwords is required for Win98, NT and Windows 2000
#
    encrypt passwords = yes

    coding system = utf8
    client code page = 932
    force create mode = 0755
    strict sync = yes
    sync always = yes

    interfaces = usbd0 wlan0 wlan1
#    wins support = yes
    bind interfaces only = yes
[system]          
    comment = System Folder
    path = /root/samba
    read only = no
    browseable = no
    guest ok = yes
    force user = root
[home]          
    comment = for User Data
    path = /home/samba
    short preserve case = no
    read only = no  
    guest ok = yes
    force user = zaurus

I tried to change WORKGROUP = ZAURUS to the name for my own "workgroup on my PC network but am not "allowed" to delete, rename or change the file in /usr/lib.rom/samba/ and if I do "su
 mount / -o rw,remount" at the console,  it STILL says it's a read-only file system and I can't delete it or rename it.

Thanks, everyone, for your input.
