PRS-T1 Samba Filesharing for Sony PRS T1

[Thor]

I managed to access the internal and external sdcard via Windows filesharing.

1. You must have a rooted Sony PRS T1
2. Open a terminal (e.g. via the installed "Terminal Emulator") and enter:

su
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

This enables incoming connections (thanks to this post: Original info to allow incoming connections

3. Exit the terminal
4. Get and install Samba Filesharing apk via Samba via Market Link or directly from Samba at XDA Developers
5. Open the app, enter settings and enter a password
5.1 Check and note username
5.1 Enter a correct NETBIOS Name (e.g. SONY)
5.2 I enabled too "Screen Wake Lock" under "Wake Locks" to prevent slow downs

Then you can "Enable" the file sharing. Make sure that you have already enabled WLAN.

Finally you are able to connect via Windows Explorer your sdcards on the PRS T1 . Do not forget that username and password are case-sensitive!!

If you copy new files via SMB to your T1 trigger a Media scan afterwards (context menu from Samba app and "Media Scan"). Then the new files are recognized by the system.

It seems that the iptables-command do not survive a reboot. So I have to check if I can manage that the corresponding ports for smb are always open.

Thanks for this - I can now get swiFTP to work. The reason I use this is because it is text only and is only 77k

Maybe you could create a script for the iptables command and add a shortcut to it so it can be run after reboots.

Edit /system/etc/firewall.sh with root explorer (mount system as read/write) and comment out the line

iptables -P INPUT   DROP

to e.g.

# iptables -P INPUT   DROP

Then you are able to use Samba directly after a reboot without entering the iptables-command in a terminal as written in the first post.

You can also do:

adb remount
adb shell "busybox sed -i '/INPUT[[:space:]][[:space:]][[:space:]]DROP/ s/^/#/' /etc/firewall.sh"

(at PC command prompt, if you have ADB enabled and Android SDK installed)

And it's possible that you don't have to reboot if you add:

adb shell "/etc/firewall.sh flush; /etc/firewall.sh"

if you start to see funky stuff like your wifi disconnecting often, freeze WPSSettings 1.0 and Network Manager 1.0

Unfortunately, I had only a partial success.

I have installed both samba and the ftp server.

With samba: I can't get to my external card even though I specified the additional mounting point for it.
BTW, samba says: for external cards, only vfat formatted supported at this time.

With ftp - I can get to the external card without problems but I cannot change directories. I keep getting this message:

550 Invalid name or chroot violation

If I specify in the ftp server some directory on the card as the initial directory, then I get there when connected, but I still cannot move anywhere from it.

UPDATE: the ftp problem solved:
the initial directory for the external card has to be /mnt/extsd instead of /extsd

Still, samba is working with the internal flash only.

As to ftp, I need a better Far ftp plugin to support various characters and alphabets in folder/file names. With FileZilla - everything is ok. But I need something for FAR.
So far I tried the usual ftp plugin and NetBox - NetBox shows some promise but fails very quickly.

do you guys have any idea how to get Droid Server Beta to work consistently? I got it to work once or twice, allowing me to connect via a PC VNC and send mouse/key inputs but now I can't get it to work anymore.

I have root my T1 using the last rupor´s version and i´m looking for use ftp.

I have modified firewall. sh file, trying this

1 - modify # iptables -P INPUT DROP:

2 - modify firewall.sh writing

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

3 - install terminal emulator and write:

su
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

But nothing works. I Can´t use FTP.

What do i do wrong?

Sorry my bad english. thanks.

Actually this is my firewall.sh

#!/system/bin/sh
