Mount SMB share for use with GScript? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if Estrongs allows you to actually mount a Windows network share (for reading and writing) for other applications on the phone to use? I want to be able to access my Windows share with the command prompt on GScript.
Specifically what I am trying to do is have commands from my phone control Grooveshark, which now has a text-file-based API. All I have to do is append "next" or "previous" or whatever to a text file on the host PC and Grooveshark will follow the commands.
See here: http://grooveshark.wikia.com/wiki/External_Player_Control_API_Docs
So will this work? Or can GScript not edit a file that is on an SMB share?
Thanks!
Shawn

Get FULL access to android device by the use of FTP

Hello!
I have:
1. Android's tablet with FTP server installed on it. I choose SwiFTP on this role.
2. Ordinary desktop computer under Windows 7 with FTP client. I use Total Commander built-in FTP client.
In general - all works, I can see tablet's files/folders from desktop through Total Commander. BUT! I can't see ALL folders on tablet! Example: I want to see files in /data. Answer from Total Commander:
Code:
CWD data
550 The path is inaccessible
In the same time I can see folders like /sys, /system, etc. Of course, I have rooted Android on my tablet. So - what I can do to get absolutely FULL access to Android's file system over FTP?
I thank in advance for your answers.
I'm not sure, but I guess that the ftp server is not running as root, so that's why you can't navigate to directories which are only accessible by root.
You could use QuickSSHd - it's a nice front-end for the dropbear SSH server, and it can start dropbear as root, so you can access everything (e.g. with WinSCP).
QuickSSHd "root" is only it's default username. It tells you that it will only access root folders on your Android if it's a rooted device.
Swiftp does not run as root therefore it does not allow to access those folders. But fortunately there is another application Root FTP that allows that (you just need the rooted phone of course) - see it here

VPN and file browsing?

Hi guys, I am new to Android (Galaxy Note) from iOS.
I have successfully connected to my works VPN. How do I browse files on the device?
On my windows PC I connect to the VPN and then use explorer to browse to this directory:
//D*****R/DATA/SERVER/Filing cabinet/
This directory contains all our invoices in excel format. I want to be able to look at them and edit them.
I downloaded a file explorer program but that asks me to put all the server details in again. I tried that and it said couldn't connect.
Anyone else use VPN for work?
Help?
Thanks.

[Q] synchronize a file using usb

Hi,
I'm developping an android application that need a file generated from a web application. the problem is that this application is for a hospital where we can not use wifi to download this generated file (xml) directly from the web application.
Thats why I'm searching for another meathod to synchronize the file and to transfert it to the tablet.
Could you give me some propositions ?
Is there some open source application to synchronize a pc folder with a tablet forder throught MTP protocol ?
is there any good java library ?
I found two libraries but :
jMTP successfully recognizes my Android devices but as of this writing there is no support for file transfer of any kind. All I've managed to do is go through the file system.
jusbpmp is supposed to be able to but its awfully buggy and fails to recognize some of the devices I'm trying to develop for.
Thank you,
You can use a MicroSD card.
Why not use ADB?
I sync my Kyocera Rise nicely with ADB and adbsync.exe

[Guide] [Suggestion] [Blue Stacks] [Windows] easy folder access

a few days ago i installed Bluestacks and immeadiately realized the entire computer is not viewable
so i started looking for a way to make it so i found a bunch of ways for previous versions but with this version and its altered windows regestry archeture i was unable to impliment them
so i decide to try a simple directory junction and it worked heres the method i used
it uses junction points
okay there are ultimately 2 ways to do this
one is with a utillity (i use Link Shell Extension) and the other is through command
you need your file system to be NTFS however if you are running Vista or 7 you are already on it (its the default)
im not sure if its the default on windows XP (if your using fat or fat32 on XP use the following CMD)
Code:
convert [driveletter:] /fs:ntfs
example convert c: /fs:ntfs
for more info visit the following knoledge base artcle support [dot] microsoft [dot] com kb/307881
for my example i am going to link "my music" to bluestacks through a folder that is rarely used but read by bluestacks
Close out of bluestacks
so to start install Link Shell Extension and allow it to restart explorer (i cant post links so you will have to google it, the developers web site ends with [dot] at)
now navigate to your user profile (paste the following in the explorer address bare to go right there)
Code:
%USERPROFILE%
Right Click on "my music" or "music"
Click "Pick Link Source"
now go to public pictures
Code:
C:\Users\Public\Pictures
right click in pictures
hover over "drop as" and select "Junction"
open bluestacks
launch your file browser and navigate to "/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/PublicPictures"
and music should be there
this can be adjusted for as many folders you want except C://", "C://Users", "C://Users/public", "C://Users/Public/Pictures" (as those would create an infinate loop and may crash bluestack and or your computer. i haven't tested this, nor do i intend to) just link them all to "public/pictures" instead of music use the other source

adb batch laucher program?

Hi I was just wondering if anybody knows of a very simple program that you can use to execute adb batch files? For example, I am looking for a program where I can enter in an IP address, browse to a batch file I created, and click a button that executes it. thanks
