Hi,
I got a strange probolem when trying to access files on a samba share. The share is on a Pogoplug running ArchLinux and I can access it from Xubuntu fine. Howerver, on the N7 using ES File Explorer, i can browse the directories fine. I can even create new files. But as soon as I try to access a file, I get an error saying "parameter incorrect" or "Cache remote file failed". The problem occurss on publish shares as well as user shared. I tried other Samba clients than ES File Explorer, but the result is always the same. Anybody an idea how to solve this?
Also works flawlessly on my iPhone, just tried. Anybody know any special samba options required or incompatible with android?

Just realize this question may be better in the networking forum. Cab an operator move out there please?

Just tried to browse a Windows share from my N7, and that works fine, so there must be something specific to the Linux samba setup that the N7 doesn't like.
Found the solution, this appears to be a Samba bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9706
Setting unix extensions = no in the smb.conf fixes it for now.

So, i'm not sure what the issue is, or if this has already been addressed.
I have my tablet and phone set up on a VPN using vpnCilla, that works.
I set up SMB through AntTek File Explorer on both devices, that works.
However! when attempting to access the SMB drive, it hangs, lags, or times out.
My coworker has the same setup on a Galaxy tab (stock) and able to access the network through the exact same method like butter.
Could this be an issue with how JB 4.1.2 handles data packets? (both my devices have 4.1.2 installed, rooted).
I've tried 4 other SMB compatible file managers, gives me the same result.
When I move some files to mnt/sdcard on my phone and connect the USB cable, the files don't show on Windows XP computer.
On another thread it was explained that the MTP service doesn't automatically index files but an app called SDrescan can
do it manually. I found out that restarting the phone makes the files available on the computer.
Is there better way to do this?
Is this only a WindowsXP issue?
[edit]
It's now clear that this is an issue with Android.
How did it work on older versions? I'm running 4.2.1
I got the same problem on Windows 7

I have the same problem on Fedora Linux using MTPFS. I gave up on MTP and use adb to push & pull files or directories. I have seen people recommend airdroid. But never used it myself. You can also try Droid Explorer.
Yeah, that's an issue on MTP's side, not XP or 7
Hey all.
I have a 4.3 stock Nexus 10 that I'm having some problems with USB. I can create and modify folders using ES File Manager on my tablet, but when I try to view the USB of my Nexus 10 on my PC they don't show up. This is a problem as it means I can't modify/edit/delete etc the folders on my PC. Does anyone else have this problem, or a fix for it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you try another PC? This issue never happened to me before, but it looks like your PC isn't recognizing your tablet folders correctly. Does the folder still exists after you exit ES File Manager?

There are some limitations on the stock Nexus 10 when using a media server (i.e. MTP). Most Nexus devices that have a microSD card support MTP and provide full access via USB connection. Since the N10 does not have a microSD option, you don't have MTP support and have to use PTP instead as your USB connection which will only provide limited access. For rooted N10s there are other alternatives that can be found using a google search and/or these forums.
Because of this, I personally use an OTG connection to transfer large files or use AirDroid. In emergency situations, I have pushed and pulled files from the N10 using Nexus 10 Toolkit or Wugfresh's Nexus Toolkit.

Maybe you have "USB debugging" activated in Settings\Developer Options\Debugging. Turn USB Debugging OFF and your PC will see your N10.
Another possibility is the Drivers are not updated or not correctly installed in PC. Good Luck!
Hey all. I think it may just be an app-specific problem. I was using Manga+ to download manga, and whilst it'd show up in ES File Explorer, it wouldn't over USB. However, if I compressed the folder with ES File Explorer, it'd show up. Well, it's a pain but at least I can access the files. Thanks!
How to connect my Android device via file manager (personally I use FileMaster) to my Windows laptop? It requires a login and password that I haven't. Thanks.

You could see if ES File Explorer will do it, or you could set up a FTP server on your computer (FileZilla).

OK, it works too in FileMaster, now I can access to my laptop, but a pass is mandatory? It can't be a no pass free login?

No idea. Are you trying computername\username or just username? Windows likes to have a domain, even if it is just the local hostname of the computer. I work in an IT department so I see this kind of stuff a lot with *nix computers and Windows. Android is a version of Linux custom really.

Tried this?
Open the app, turn on the switch, go to computer, download filezilla, type IP and port, connect and voila!
In Ubuntu is so much easier!
Go to: support.microsoft.com/kb/147706
Use the highest level that works. For user and password it depends on if the computer is a domain member. You can use a local account if you are able to add permissions to the ACL. Don't forget to do it on the share as well as the share root (& subsequent lower level directories as needed, etc.)
If an XP or older which uses "share level" instead of "user level", use the username "guest" and for password use whatever password you put on the workgroup share when you set it up.
To clarify, are you trying to access files on your android device from your windows PC via network share/samba, or access a share on your PC via the phone?
I just want to connect my phone to my PC with a USB cable and get all access to files on the phone. I don't want to use AirDroid, I don't use, nor trust, any cloud services. I just want to get my nandroid backups, and other various backup files onto my computer quickly and easily. I know since JB that the file system has changed for security, but for F*@& sake there has to be a simple way to do this.
I have other work arounds using my wifi network and using ES file explorer, but it is much slower than a direct connection.
adb push/pull does not work either.
All other reasonable suggestions welcome.
Why can't you just drag and drop then thru usb?

I am not able to access the files from the computer for the backups created in TWRP up or the files created through MyBackup Pro, and adb pull gives me the error "does not exist." The files are protected and computer cannot read them. When trying to access through Nautilus (file explorer) they just don't even show up.
So.... apparently updating and restarting my computer, restarting my phone, and then eating a sub fixed a problem I've had since Jelly Bean... WTF?
Whatever, now suddenly I can drag and drop.
