Re: Sharing folders in Windows CE 5.0

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

Don,

You could try adding the specific reg keys and values to your project.reg and rebuild your image. This should hard code the information into your image.

Note: the UseAuthentication regvalue wasn't working in an out of the box install of the 5.0 tools, but was QFE'd so please make sure you install is up-to-date. I believe the monthly update that contained this fix is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=61D983F5-192A-455B-A8C4-46243F79689A&displaylang=en

Example, add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer]
"AdapterList"="DC211401;"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares]
"UseAuthentication"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\Public]
"UserList"="*"
"Path"="\\Temp"
"Type"=dword:00000000

I am not 100% sure that the "UserList"="*" will work, but give it a shot.

Hi Ryan

Now that I am sharing files successfully. Is there away to set up the file
sharing so that I don't have to use RemoteAdmin everytime I boot my device in
order to share
a directory. Ideally I would like to share a folder that any user can
access regardless of there user or password without using RemoteAdmin. In
other words is there a way to set up the registry with the changes that the
RemoteAdmin tool is making. In the RemoteAdmin tool I notice that users
come up with permissions denied and you have to change it to allow. Is there
a way for Windows CE to just keep these settings after a reboot.

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?
