Accessing NAS from raphael - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Question:
I want to access data stored on my Conceptronic CH3SNAS. using my Raphael, access data on my Raphael using the Popcornhour NMT, and print from my Raphael to the shared printer connected to my Desktop
Setup:
Zyxel 2602HW Router/Modem.
Wire Connected : CH3SNAS, Desktop PC(XP pro), Popcornhour A-110
WiFi Connected: Laptop (Vista Home), Raphael
Rights:
NAS (smb shares + nfs(for PCH A110) - fully opened for lan-access, ftp-useraccounts for iNet access
Desktop: no shares, only printersharing
Laptop: no shares, only mediaplayer /center access.
All these devices are visible in the workgroup
Needed:
- To make Raphael a member of the workgroup
- Share the data on Raphael
- Configure remote printing on Raphael
- Configure PCH to access data on Raphael
Hoping:
That anyone here can provide me with some helpful info, pref. freeware based
UTFS / GIYF did not provide me with anything useful

As for accessing the NAS shares:
You could use Resco File Explorer - it has a build-in function for very comfortable access of smb shares.

yep, resco is recommended
and jetcet print should work fine for printing wirelessly/to network

map / link an FTP connection

I don't have a very large micro SD card so for fun I was going to try to stream stuff straight from my FTP.
Is there an application that allows you to map or link FTP connections to a "folder" so that the data would be accessible from other programs?
I've tried Resco Explorer 2008 and it doesn't seem to do that (even though it almost seems to hint that it can on their website).
Thanks!
a ftp cant stream
stream is a term used for media where the server send a bit at the time for the client to recieve rather then sending the whole "file" and then have the client play it
ftp's dont support streaming
I'm not trying to stream a video/audio if that is what you are thinking intead I just want to have constant access to multiple small files as they would be in a regular file system. This is doable by windows applications such as SFTP Drive or Novell Netdrive.
Either way the definition for "stream" doesn't suggest any certain way a file is accessed just that a "succession of data elements (be) made available over time."
Did someone find a program to map FTP to a folder?

how to share folder on PPC

Hi
I would like to share a folder on my PPC (HTC Touch).
I have my PPC and laptop connected to my router.
I'm able to 'ping' to the PPC.
But: How do I share a folder on my PPC?
Or How do I connect to a folder shared on my laptop?
I tried every program of my PPC but I can't find it.
With Pocket Lan (http://www.z2software.com/) you can connect from your PPC to a share on your laptop. To my knowledge the reverse is not possible.
Try Mocha FTP Server on your PPC
Connect to your lan, start Mocha FTP and on your PC open ftp://ip_of_ppc.

[Q] Files from LAN

While I was playing around with the Sylvania MID 7" from Sears, I found that it was able to search my local area network using ES Explorer and find files on my Windows devices (including my main Windows 7 machine). That device went back for a variety of reasons. Now with the G Tablet under ES Explorer, I can't see my PCs or NAS devices and I can only type in IP addresses which don't seem to work (even my Linksys NAS which runs a version of Linux doesn't connect). With the other device I was able to find video files and play them. This device isn't allowing me to do that.
Are there some settings or tweaks I need to be looking at?
Just checked my es expolorer and under lan I can see my network by IP.
Running DLink DIR-655 router.
I can see my dlink nas and other PC
I can even login to see my Home sever (HP Media Smart Server)
I have a TonidoPlug running Tonido and was able to add it as a new server in ES Explorer. I am able to browse the entire server and play media, open images, and open Word docs, etc from it. SUPER EASY!!!
It won't play avi's, but it will play mp4 videos streaming.
Thanks for the tip on ES. I didn't know it could connect over the network.

[Q] File Transfer / Explorer for WM device via WiFi

Is there an application for the pc (windows xp) that will allow browsing and file transfer (both ways) on a windows mobile device connected to LAN via WiFi?
Note that I am looking for a PC app, not a WM app.
Thanks

Network connection with Macintosh

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my S7 to my mac using Total Commander but I can't connect... Do someone konw how to do that ?
I'm using the Lan plugin for TC.
Thanks !
Not sure there are drivers available for Mac, I remember others having the same problem with the S5 unless something has changed since then
Thanks for your answer, in fact my question was more like "how to access to my LAN connected devices, and I'm a Mac user with 2 Mac connected, one on a lan connexion, the other one via wifi (MBair), and I have also 1 NAS connected to this network, in order to be able to play (for exemple) mp3 or video files located on a Mac or on the NAS from my S7, or the reverse opération, playing media files located on my S7 from from of my Mac or my internet box without having to transfer the files locally".
I managed to create sftp connexions, but that only allows file transfers, not remote playing.
In fact I would like to turn my S7 into a "regular" network connected device. I understood that Android can connect easily to windows networks and it is possible to have a network with Mac and windows devices connected together. Why not not an Android device with Mac devices to NAS devices ? I don't want to connect the S7 with a wired connection, I still want to use the wifi connection. Like my MacBook Air is connected with wifi to my local network.
I don't know if this is clear... My English is not perfect and my LAN knowingness is even more tiny...

Ah sorry I misunderstood your question
ES File Explorer can create LAN/FTP connections for playing between network connected devices
I use it for playing from my NAS to my S7
I surely made something wrong with ES Explorer, I tried it, because I couldn't create a LAN connection. Only sftp. Did you configure something special on you Mac ? I removed ES Explorer because I was overwhelmed with notifications (battery saving, etc)... And it seems that it creates internet connexions even when I don't use it.

I'm not using a Mac, the connection it makes is LAN so should work on both PC and Mac alike / anything with network access
The free version of ES File Explorer is full of ads, I bought the Pro version
Left Hamburger menu > Network > LAN > + sign for making a new connection > Enter IP address of NAS and login
(Or press the top scan button to auto discover)
You can create FTP server connections on the phone using ES too afaik but have not done that yet, I used to use FTP Server app on the play store for that, and FileZilla Client on the PC (Any FTP client Mac alternative will work)
Thanks, no problem to access the NAS (with ES FE) but I have this message when trying to connect to my Mac : (personal English translation...) "the server you want to configure needs SMB 2.0. Please first unlock it"...

Looks like a limit of the Mac
Some suggestions I found:
If you're trying to connect to a mac, take it from me and give up on AFP & SMB.
Just follow wrxtasy's advice and use NFS with NFS Manager. It works perfectly.
It takes a little in the setup, but it's worth it.

Networking with non OSX computers is always a nightmare. With ES FE or TC I can create a ftp connexion without problems. And Ia can access to my NAS. The issue with to connect to the Mac's HD... Thank you for your link, I'm gonna try this.
Sorry I don't have a Mac to help further
File Explorer is a file management app on Android. It helps you to access your files not only on Android device, but also on PC, Mac, NAS and cloud storages (Dropbox, Google Drive etc). Stream movies and songs from computer, NAS to your Android device. Directly view photos, documents without downloading.

Ok, thanks for your time !
If someone has another idea... I can't believe that I'm the only human being trying to connect an Android device to a mac...
