Is it possible to access an NTFS share over WiFi using the Xoom? Basically I want to be able to open Documents in QuickOffice and possibly listen to music/video stored on a fileshare.
I am rooted and running the Tiamat Kernel.
Thanks.
I use ES File Explorer to access my home network NAS and shares. Works great!!

Hi Barnehouse,
can you also stream media from your share? what are you using to mount your shares???
i can access the network, but cant stream???
you can use any of the file explorers, es, file expert etc. You'll need to use cifs manager or something to mount the share. File expert has a built in module called mount manager that also works very well... there several discussions that you can read to walk you through it you will find using search.

got me going in the right direction, and I've experimented and found other apps more to my liking.
Hope it helps...

With my N97, I was able to browse the internal and SD card from my macbook. WIth my Streak (318) I can only send file. Is there a tool I can install or a setting I can change to allow me to browse and remotely write/delete files on the sd card?
i'm pretty sure if you:
1. Root your phone
2. download ASTRO FILE MANAGER
then you can!!
File manager can do that without rooting

For non-rooted phone Bluetooth File Transfer will enhance your BT capabilities. Click on the help link on that page for a lot more detail.
There are a number of apps that will allow you to transfer files over WiFi to/from a computer that is on a WiFi network. ES File Explorer and Astro both do this, but the access is from the phone not the computer. IN other words you can view network shares on the file browser app on your phone.
There are also apps that provide a web interface for manipulating files on your phone. Websharing File/Media Sync is one.Dev Site It also relies on a WiFi network to connect.

Use a program like Root Explorer and change it from Read Only to R/W. I'm sure you can do it with ES File Explorer which is free.

I do not think you can use ES File Explorer to change the permissions, but you can use Root Explorer if you are rooted.

You need to change the ES File Explorer app options. Configuration-> Root Explorer (check it). That's all. You can also use this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173195 and remount as writeable.

Thanks but after done what u said i still cannot change the permission folder. This is what I did(please advise me if I done wrong).
Before
Change:
User - nothing tick
Group - all tick
Other - one read and execute are tick
After
Change:
User - tick all(read, write and execute)
Group - nothing I change
Other - nothing I change.
I ON my USB debugging.
What should I do, because when I tick everything for user, this come out "Change Permission failed"
Thanks again.

Root explorer does all I need. Sometimes I use the file manager from rom toolbox, but they're pretty similar.

Do you have root access? If you do download file explorer that will ask for root access and that will give you deeper access into the system files. Try root explorer or es explorer. For es explorer, obtain root access in the app's setting menu.

As mentioned by scream4cheese, you must have root access to even see anything in /data or /system, etc.
I was able to use mount manager to mount a local Samba server as local drive on my Nexus 10.
Now I'm trying to do the same with an FTP server, and can't seem to figure it out yet.
I am running rooted with CM10 on the device, so it should 'FUSE' on it. But I'm not quite sure if how I would go about mounting the ftp server to local folder.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, and that works for Windows as well as NetDrive for windows.
But I'm trying mount the FTP server/folder as a local drive on my Android (Nexus 10) tablet.
I may have posted in the wrong place? this may be more a general android question then a specific Nexus 10.
Sorry about the W7 link - day dreaming. Solid Explorer will connect to and bookmark ftp servers but that's not what you want I'd have thought that Mount Manager would have done it but looks like it doesn't. Look at SSHFSAndroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaos9k.sshfsandroid ?
I found that app as well and emailed the developer if it supports ftp but have not heard back from him. But I went and bought it anyway since it was only a few bucks.
But I haven't been able to to get to connect to the ftp server. The app has shows alot of options and I've tried changing to port 21 which i know my ftp server is using. But still can't get it to connect.
I am also rooted and unsure if there is anyway to mount the ftp folder with busy box and terminal. I'm really not that versed in using busybox just yet.
Anyone else have know of any app or suggestions?
Es file explorer app can access ftp and then you can click and it makes an ftp URL it hands to the app which works with some apps. Or copy files local and use.

Yes, I can explore the FTP via ES file and other similar file managers, but it is not quite the same as actually mapping to a folder location where it looks as local content.
There must be a way to do it. I have used mount manager to mount samba share as local folders. But can't figure out yet out to map an ftp.

You can make a URL out of FTP
Code:
ftp://user:[email protected]:port/path
Applications which know FTP can then access it directly. All ES File Explorer does is build the URL and give it to the app.
You can't mount FTP at all on ANY OS, so don't look for a solutoin, it is technically impossible due to the nature of FTP. Duh. All platforms do the same as I described, it's down the app knowing how to do FTP, its not a mount question.
If you control the data source, you can offer a CIFS or NFS and a VPN and then mount it (if you insist on this functionality). I actually prefer to run Apache on my mine and http: access mine, it is faster than ftp:
@nigelhealy That was not very constructive... YES it is possible. curlftpfs in Ubuntu linux works fantasticly to mount an FTP server to a directory via FUSE... allows all applications to interact as if it was native directory...
we need a curlftpfs replacement/port for Android.
Sorry for digging out this old thread, but is there any solution by now?
Greetz
Dig out this old thread again as I'm also interested in mounting an ftp directory to the local directory of an Android system
And since a ban of dropbox I'm requesting the same... Digging this thread up to see if anyone has found a working solution of using FTP as 'local' mount.
