Title: syntax for connecting to internal storage smb share
Post by: switchblade on July 24, 2016, 06:41:06 PM
I read the FAQ that we can turn SAMBA on and access the Internal storage via the network, SMB share.  I am using Total Commander to connect via SMB but I cannot connect to my Q10 Pro.

I tried
ip address/mnt/sda/sda1
ip address/sdcard

Yes, SAMBA is turned on in Settings and I use administrator for User and no password currently set. 

It won't connect.

Please confirm correct path when connecting from a Windows pc.

\\<ip address>\share
..
\\<ip address>\share \sdcard
\\<ip address>\share\sda\sda1

I tried both and could not connect.  I'm using the word "share".  If that is not correct, what do I use for the share name?  I also have not set a password, does that matter?

I have not created any shares.  I only confirmed SAMBA was on.

SAMBA on in HiMedia box is automatic create shares under name "share"
Your PC is running Windows 10 check if SMB 1.0 future is enable.

Ok, confirmed that I do have the SMB 1.0 future box checked.  I connect to SMB shares all the time, on my unraid server.

looks like I am typing the path correctly, and using administrator as the user name with no password - yet it doesn't work??

I can ping the IP address and the Auto Frame Patch run_me.bat file connected to my box without any issues.  I also tested Internet on my Q10, no issues.

What am I missing here?

Update:  I reset the box with paper clip and installed the firmware again and now it works just fine.  Who knows.  SAMBA was not running, even though the Settings showed it was.  I was not able to see the SMB shares from any of my devices.  I did the last firmware OTA, maybe that is why. 

Thanks for the help!
