File sharing on e72

I have need as I'm sure many do regards connecting my e72 into my home network (wireless).
I need to access files that have been shared to other pc's on the home network
Furthermore. i use a "magic packet" to wake my pc from other network pc's for business access to a particular file.
My question...
Can the Nokia E72 be set up similar to access my shared network files including provision to wake up the pc with magic packet?
thanks in advance.

You have named this thread as "file sharing on e72", however it seems that you are talking about file sharing on a computer and accessing that share from the phone.Exist software "Telexy Network Browser", but this software is only available as a part of Telexy Network Commander (SymNC) - collection of 7 network applications for S60 3rd and 5th phones.
It seems that you need "Telexy Network Browser" from that collection and right now this application is not distributed as a separate software. You may check whole software collection and if you will find other applications that you need as well, then it could make sense for you to use it for your tasks.
For example, if you are accessing computer from outside network, then most likely you will need to use VPN access and PPTP VPN application is already included into Telexy Network Commander (SymNC).
Probably you will be interesting in playing MP3 files directly from your computer, such application as also included in SymNC.
Probably you will be interested in full access in differnet direction - from PC to phone files, such application is also included in SymNC.
And so on.
Fully Functional Trial version of SymNC is available for evaluation at this moment. You may check it out and see for yourself how many applications from 7 you may need (or from 6 if your phone is not S60 5th).
> Thirdly, Is it possible to have the e72 use
> the "wake on LAN" function? Is so, with what software?
It seems that such software is not available for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th phones at this moment.

Personal File Sharing

I have a small office network setup with 8 macs. I'm currently using personal file sharing within the network. Sometimes I can not tell who is connected to which machine at any given time.
When I go to shut my machine down, I'll get the message "There are X users connected using apple file sharing. Are you sure you want to shut down?"
#1 How can I tell who is connected?
#2 Is there a way that I can force them to disconnect from my machine?
Thanks

No need to "install" Sharepoints, you just run it once to set the type of logging you want in it's AFS Properties, then you use AFS Monitor to easily check the Logs to see who is or has been doing what.
No need to change Sharing with Sharepoints unless you want to finely tune your sharing.

Problem using File sharing in a small office network

I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
Thank you

Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.

File Sharing Service keeps crashing Error Reading Settings, File Sharing Service keeps crashing Error Reading Settings

File sharing service keeps popping up with the error message An error occurred on the server while processing a command. This error occurred while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in 'servermgr_afp'.
I have tried multiple solutions on this site, unloading afp and restarting it, restarting postgres. The file sharing tab will show up for a few seconds on the server.app config page then once someone tries to access any of the shared volumes on there, the event log shows it crashing instantly. Error in console:
The server '127.0.0.1' reported an error while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in: 'servermgr_afp'. Error: Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=0 "SETTING_NOT_FOUND_ERR" UserInfo=0x7ffe6a835060 {NSLocalizedDescription=SETTING_NOT_FOUND_ERR}
Also I get the error com.apple.launchd: (com.apple.collabd.notifications[7520]) Exited with code 1 then always followed by Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds and this happens every 10 seconds without fail.

I have started getting this error this morning:
This error occurred while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in 'servermgr_afp'.
Using Server 2.2.2; MacMini running OS X 10.8.5, 2 GHz Core i7 with 8 GB RAM attached to a 12TB Pegasus RAID.
When the error appears, my users cease to be able to access file shares.
Often, just before the error occurs, my users experience substantial slow down in the Finder's responsiveness when manipulating files on those shares.
Restarting the Server App will produce one of several results
1. fix the problem (rarely)
2. fail to connect to server
3. connect to server but not get all services running.
The system itself resists a full shutdown, hanging at the grayish-white screen (not spinning wheel or cog or apple logo).
I wish there was some known fix for this.

Airport Extreme is allowing access to screen sharing, file sharing from external IP addresses (some from China, Canada etc)

How to get control over the ports/port forwarding etc in Airport Extreme?
How to make AE drop packets to certain ports from external ports. Or create whitelist/blacklists?
I figured out where the MAC filtering is! (It is inside the Timed Access Control). I wish it had a list of connected device and allowed me to select, name and add them.
I am getting requests from Chinese IP to the screen sharing ports forwarded to my iMac. Had requests to other ports as well. There was one IP address from CANADA too.
I want to open file sharing for local use only.

Why is Airport Extreme forwarding requests for screen sharing from external ip addresses to my imac? I don't have a public address, nor use dynamic dns service, and I have removed the server app (at least I think I have, but Apple Store doesn't think so).

Connecting to shared machines (either via Share Screen or file sharing)

I have a MobileMe account and four computers in separate locations which I regularly need to connect between. Some are on static IP's and others are on dynamic IP's. So all of them have file sharing enabled as well as screen sharing enabled. They're also all registered in my MobileMe account. Anytime I'm in a Finder window, in the sidebar, I see Shared > (computer name) and see all the computers there. If I click on it, I'm offered two buttons, one to "Connect As" if I want to file share, and "Share Screen" if I want to VNC.
I would say 60-70% of the time I click on either of those buttons, it doesn't work. It takes about a minute to try and connect, then says, "Connection failed to (computer name). Please make sure screensharing is enabled...blah blah blah..." (it is)
However, 40-60% of the time if I click the same button again, it DOES work!
Sometimes it takes several tries.
It's really frustrating that I can't reliably connect to the other computers in the MobileMe list.
Does anyone else see this and are there any suggestions? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Trying to connect to a computer that has a static IP vs. dynamic fails with about the same regularity. So I don't think that's it.
I also get about the same failure rate when trying to use Connect As to fileshare. So I don't think it's a VNC/screenshare-specific problem.
I've tried using DynDNS as an alternate way to reliably locate another of my computers. It fails with approx. the same failure rate, and sometimes works upon re-attempt.
HELP!

Goto your System Preferences->Sharing, Then select the Internet tab.
From the drop down menu select 'Share your connection from: Kyrocera card.'
And in the 'To computers using' box tick built in ethernet and connect a network cable to your powerbook and the other end to your network.
Or if you have an airport card installed share the connection using your airport.Then other wireless devices can connect to your powerbook.

How do I use VPN for file sharing?

Hi folks, hope you can help.
I need to find a method for file sharing between my company's two offices, which are not only in different countries but also use both PCs and Macs. I think setting up a VPN is the way forward.
My file server is a Mac Mini running the standard client version of OS 10.5.4, with a static IP, 217.xxx.xxx.xxx. I need the PCs and Macs to access its resources. It is set up to share its files using FTP, AFP and SMB. It is running the application iVPN Server, which I understand is a GUI that makes the built-in OS X VPN Server function available to the client edition of OS X.
I am currently overseas and can connect to the Mac Mini over VPN. The problem is that I cannot seem to access the Mac Mini's files - I don't know what to do having established the VPN connection. I was half-expecting it to show up in the Finder under Shared or something.
The Mac Mini has a local IP of 10.0.1.20, but the VPN Server is issuing an IP to all clients in the range 192.168.2.200 and beyond. Is this where I'm going wrong?
Should the Mac Mini VPN Server also connect to itself, using VPN, as a client?
I'm really stuck, all help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for prompt reply Topher..
I am familiar with the Connect to Server window, but I am not sure which IP I should be using. Assuming no VPN connection for the moment, and assuming I'm on a remote network, I can connect to the User's documents folder on the Mac Mini already by typing afp://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents
However, I need to ensure that SMB shares work (I know they work when I'm on the local network). So I type smb://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents but this fails to connect to the User's Documents folder.
To make the SMB shares work I think I have to connect using VPN. So I connect to the Mac Mini via VPN, and my laptop is issued a VPN IP of 192.168.2.200. Of course my laptop also has an IP from my local network. Do I need to rearrange my network order in System Preferences?
So I'm now connected via VPN. However to view the Mac Mini's files, surely it also needs to have an IP issued by the VPN Server? But the Mac Mini is the VPN server. So should I go into its System Preferences and set up a VPN connection to itself?
Now back on the laptop and I want to browse User's Documents folder on the Mac Mini using SMB. I go Connect to Server, and I guess I would type smb://[username:password]@[Mac Mini's VPN IP]/Documents
Am I on the right track? Thanks again...

Why can't I connect to my shared computers for file sharing;I have 3 Macs and I can connect the other 2 but not my new Macbook air.

I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

File sharing/AFP skips "connect as"

I have a Mac-Lion and several accounts, both user and admin. I turned file sharing on and selected AFP. I can connect from another Mac-Yosemite as expected - to any account on Mac-Lion by entering the password when prompted. With one exception.
I have an admin account xyz on Mac-Lion and an admin account xyz on Mac-Yosemite, different passwords. On Mac-Yosemite, in the account xyz when "connect to server", it skips the "connect as" prompt. Connects straight to xyz on MBP-Lion. However, this does happen vice-versa. I also tested other accounts, say abc on Mac-Lion and abc on Mac-Yosemite, admin or standard user. No problem, always goes to the "connect as" window and asks for a password.
I also changed the password of xyz on MBP Lion many times, and delete the keychain, restarted, etc. Also, MBP-Lion is off-cloud. Still thee is this mysterious one-way password-free connection between the two accounts. What could that be and how can I reset it?
Thanks in advance.

It turns out the iCloud causes this behavior. If I sign off iCloud in the account xyz on Mac-Yosemite, then I am prompted with the regular login window when I connect to Mac-Lion. So some setting on Mac-Lion grants password fee access to connections from account xyz on Mac-Yosemite as long as that account is logged in iCloud. (xyz on Mac-Lion used to be signed in the same iCloud account, but I signed out and reset the keychain). Any idea where that could be so that i can reset it?

File sharing afp:// address not computer name

Just setting up my new iMac and the file sharing afp:// address does not match the computer's name (Brute Squad), it's pulled in my old PowerBook's name (Alumen). I'm assuming it came from my Apple/iCloud account since that was the only computer I had registered when I set the iMac up. Restarting didn't help. Any ideas?

You can change the computer name in the System Preferences > Sharing pane, change the name at the top.
Best of luck.

Best Practises for File Sharing and Print Server on Windows Server 2012

Is it better to have File Sharing and Print Server installed on the same Windows 2012 Server ?
Or, they should be installed on 2 different Windows Servers ?
Hussien Sherief

It will work just fine to combine them.
But most people would recommend keeping functionality separate... if the budget allows. That whole "single point of failure" concept. If that server dies, you've lost both of those functions.

Is there a way to have all/ the important files shared on two mac computers without a service like dropbox?

I was looking to get a Mac Mini to use with my Cinema Display so I had something of a desktop computing station. I am concerned though of the ability to have all or at least my word documents, power points, etc., graphic projects, my pdfs, and my non iphoto images transfering between computers. I currently have a macbook air running 10.8.4 and plan to upgrade to Maverics when it comes out. I DO NOT want to use a service like Dropbox. I would much rather prefer a smooth and automatic transfer of the files without any steps to transfer. Please let me know if AND HOW this is possible.

Simple file sharing SHOULD do this on the local network as BDAqua points out. If you want to physcially move files without having to go through uploading and downloading via Dropbox, use FileDrop. It's free and files go directly to the receiving computer through your LAN - in ONE step.

Target Mode with multiple partitions??? Also file sharing

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my older G4 using a firewire cable. My G4 has 2 hard drives, and one is divided in to 2 partitions. When I restart my G4 in target mode only the drive that is my start-up disk shows up.
Is there any way around this?
I've thought about just connecting my computers through file sharing but it only lets me share files in my public drive. Is there a way to share all of my files?
Thanks,
Justin

Emailing you now...
Lets say the Username on Machine#1 is jk1, Username on Machine #2 is jk2, and is an admin on #2...
Then from Machine#1 use Go>Network, type in the name of Machine #2, (use the actual IP if the name can't find it), it should come up with the Dialog box with jk1 filled in for the name and asking for the password... but you have to change the name to jk2, (the one with permissions on Machine #2 to see everything), then type in the password of jk2.
The only thing I can see why this wouldn't work for you is if Machine #1 can't find #2, or Permissions need Fixing on #2.

HT204387 can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce?

can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.

gavin_p

There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

File sharing: possible to warn second user of a file that it is already open?

[I hope this forum is the best place for my question.]
I run a small business: a medical practice. I use a Mac Mini to store all my documents, and we use two iMacs to access the documents through File Sharing. I do not run OSX Lion Server. All machines have OSX 10.7.5.
I have a Numbers spreadsheet on the Mac Mini that is frequently opened and modified by the receptionist on one iMac, but also occasionally opened and modified by the doctor on the other iMac. (The vast majority of other files never need to be opened by more than one user.) Occasionally, the Numbers file will be opened by both users at the same time. If one user modifies the file, when s/he tries to close the file, a dialog pops up warning that there are two versions, and providing the choice to Revert or Duplicate & Save. This means a choice between losing changes, or subsequently checking two documents for differences.
Note that it isn't possible to simply call out, "Hey, have you got that spreadsheet open?" when the doctor is seeing a patient.
Also note that privacy is an issue, as the spreadsheet contains numerous patient names.
Is there a way to: (a) Warn the second user opening the file that it is already open? Or (b) Make the file read-only when a second user tries to open it? (c) Inform the second user that the file is in use, and they can't open it at all. (There may be other solutions that I can't think of.)
I am open to all ideas. I have tried dabbling with AppleScript, but can't find a solution with my emerging AppleScript skills. I have been trying to find out if installing OSX Lion Server on the Mac Mini would help, but I can't find the answer online. (I would have to pay someone to install OSX Lion Server, as I have medical software installed that may or may not fit well with Server.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

hmm, then would there be any way to reproduce the effect of the 'delete' or 'backspace' keys? If I'm right, I think there was an ASCII code for the backspace character... Would it be possible to insert it to get a character deleted!? :/
I really need to find a way to do all of these operations on a text file because I think it wouldn't be a good idea to completely re-write 30Mb+ large files each time some data has to be modified :P
