Re: Sharing folders in Windows CE 5.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Ryan

The OS design template I am using is an Internet application.
I just wanted to thank you for your help. I am able to share a folder now
between My Windows XP machine and My Windows CE 5.0 OS design based on your
excellent advice, information and patients.

Thanks again

Hi Don,

May I ask what OS Design template you used? If it was one with an UI and
Internet Explorer (e.g. Enterprise Web Pad) then you could remotely
administer the SMB File Server settings. To do this you will need to add
SYSGEN_SMB_UI and rebuild your image.

1.) Boot the image, browse to http://%device_ip_addr%/RemoteAdmin where
%device_ip_addr% is the WinCE ip addr you pinged (alternatively, you could
put the DeviceName instead of the IP Addr).
2.) Enter a password for the administrator, [Apply]. The service will
restart itself.
3.) Login using 'admin' and the password from step 2.
4.) You may need to update the image name, [Apply]
5.) Edit the publicly facing adapter with "Add/Del Network Adapter"
6.) Edit user accounts with "Add/Del Users" (I created a tempuser here)
7.) Edit your file share with "Add/Del Shares" (I created a share called
Public that pointed to my \Temp)

Note: You will need to Allow user accounts access to the shares (by default
they will be denied). I added my tempuser account from step 6 here.

Then from my XP box: net use * \\MyDeviceName\Public /u:tempuer %pwd%

You can set a Network ID that you CE image can use to access other resources
by going to the Owner applet in the Control Panel, then selecting the
Network ID tab.

One other thing, did you include SYSGEN_REDIR in your image?

Hi Ryan

The documentation you pointed me to says

AdapterList : REG_SZ Provides a list of network adapters separated with a
semicolon. You can also use the "*" option to specify any adapters that
are
present on the operating system. If you set this registry key to
"localhost",
the file server will listen on loopback.

I have used the * like the instruction say.

One more thing in my CE image I don't notice anywhere that you can set a
workgroup or enable file and printer sharing like you can on xp.
I would appreciate any help you can give

Thanks

Don,

I think you might need to set another registry key for which adapter the
SMB
Server uses publically. e.g. AdapterList

Check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms884924.aspx for more
information on that key and its value.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Ryan

Hi Ryan

Thanks for your help. My problem was that I was not modifying the
project.reg file through platform builder. The next problem that pops
up
when I try to share files is
when I execute the command
net use z: \\Wince\hdd
It returns

System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

The command :
ping wince
does work though

Can you shed some light on what is happening here?
Don

I was looking through the MSDN help about using the SMBServer and hope
this
link will answer your question:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms899610.aspx

Although not specifically mentioned in the guide you included in your
post,
you will need to add those registry keys manually to your project.reg
file.

Hi

I followed the instructions in
http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/os-wince/Sharing_Folders_in_Windows_CE_5.pd
When I look at the registry there are no entries for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\HDD]
What do I have to do to make these available to me?

Thanks
