Samba server application(SMB2/3)? - General Questions and Answers

So with recent windows updates, I can't connect to my devices anymore. Turns out the server apps I run them use SMBv1, which has been removed from recent versions of Windows for being ancient as F.
The question being - is there an android samba server with support for the newer versions of the protocols.
Google, in it's infinite wisdom returns only results for samba CLIENTS when searching for servers.

VPN client (standard IPSEC)???

Hi!
Is there any working VPN-client that supports standard IPSEC?? We don't control out external access in our network and the company that runs our firewalls they have set up a watchguard soho 6, which is a standard IPSEC solution. We use the MUVPN (mobile user vpn) client where we have gotten IPSEC policy files (something.spd) which we can't change/look at.
So my question is, is there a VPN client that supports standard IPSEC with IPSEC policy Import??? (for the Windows Mobile 2005 platform.)
I have tried as many vpn-clients that I have been able to find. And the one I assume would work is SafeNets SoftRemotePDA (for Pocket PC) but it is no longer maintained and nowhere to be fiound (tried e-mailing the company as well)
any suggestion would be Great!

Remote Desktop Mobile /console?

With the Windows version of Remote Desktop you can use the CLI switch '/console' to take control of the current console session of the server you are Remote Desktop'ing into as long as its 2003 Server or later. Is this possible with the Remote Desktop Mobile client?
With the Windows version you just start it with 'Start, Run, mstsc.exe /console' and this attempts to connect to the current console session.
Cheers

to my knowledge, not possible - at least I haven't managed to do it . Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506
note that if you don't strictly need RDP, some other, proprietary clients do offer console-like features - also see the above article for more info
This is an old topic, but one of the first Google search results for 'Remote Desktop Mobile connect to console'. I've been fiddling with this for the past few days and wanted to share my experience. I say experience because I haven't reallydone anything to achieve a /console connection with RDP mobile.
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Pro and using the standard RDP client it ships with. I am connecting to my home PC, which is running Win7x64 Ultimate. If I choose to log in as a currently logged in user and provide the proper credentials, I am connected to the existing session without any hassle.
I don't know if this is a new feature of terminal services/remote desktop on Win7, or a designed advantage of the mobile RDP client.
If you need to connect to a server console session specifically, take a look at this link on how to configure your server in advance to facilitate this:
EDIT: I'd post a link, but apparently my account is too new to do so. Oh well.

OpenSuse, CUPS, and Android

So I've setup opensuse to run as a CUPS server for my network. I'm wanting to be able to print easily from both android and iOS mobile devices. There's an application on github called Cloud-print-connector and so far it's working great for both android and iOS, with one exception. On my android devices, all 3 printers that I've setup show in the list of available printers. They all have the same name so you can't tell which is which printer. If I change the default printer in suse, then the name that shows up in Android changes. Anyone have any clue why this might be? It shows up correctly on iOS and on other computers through google chrome web browser, but not in Android.

FTP(S) clients for Android

Does anyone know of a good FTP(S) client for Android, preferably a free
one that does not infect ones phone with malware/adware?
I run a home FTPS server using a CA issued cert/TLS 1.2
Most so called Android "FTP" clients actually only support insecure FTP
(suicide in this day and age) and SFTP which is file transfer over SSH
and not actually FTPS which is true FTP just over SSL/TLS.
I have tried looking for a good FTPS client and so far have come short.
I am all about free/open source software and usually there's something
on F-DROID but for FTPS it doesn't seem so. One app (Send With FTP) does
seem to support it but it hasn't been updated since 2016 and is listed
on F-DROID as having an un-patched security vulnerability.
The rest of the FTP clients on Google Play seem to be adware apps,
there's no way I would trust an app that has external servers connecting
to it with my FTP server credentials.
I would be open to paying for an app if no other option exists but it
should be noted that I run a completely de-Google'ed phone without any
Google services/framework/Play Store. My concern is that the DRM or
whatever they use to check if you paid for the app or not might rely on
the Google spyware services which I don't have. I have micro-G to spoof
the Google services should I really need it but I'm not sure if that
would even work in this case.

VPN Client Apps

I need a VPN client app that supports connecting to a L2TP/IPsec VPN using a Pre-shared key. I have tried many VPN client apps and have been unable to get a successful connection. I have been able to successfully connect using Win7, Win10 as well as iOS and one android LG V40 ThinQ on Verizon using LG’s built-in advanced VPN client. The basic android clients as well as many 3rd party VPN client apps don’t seem to work for this VPN. Unfortunately I do not have access to the server to make changes to the VPN’s configuration.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Any ideas why it would work on iOS and Windows devices but not Android?
First of all you should clarify - are you looking a free or paid VPN services?
As for paid: I would advise to try surfshark, cyberghost
As for free: vpngate.net, tunnel bear
But be warned that free services are always prone to be laggy and usually not so secure and have vulnerabilities which newbies users couldn't know!
I hope this helps!
