Re: Sharing folders in Windows CE 5.0

Hi Ryan.

I was wondering if you have made any progress on this issue. This issue has
now become my top priority. I would really appreciate any help you can give.

Don,

I am unable to provide an answer for you regarding your query. I'll
continue to look into it and try to find a solution.

For now, I would suggest you set your file server up using the RemoteAdmin
utility. Make sure your device is set to load an existing image (as oppose
to downloading a new image every time) and not clearing the registry hive
when reset. This will ensure the changes you make to your image remain
intact. These should be options in your devices bootloader or if you are
always connected to Platform Builder change the following Core Service
Settings in the Connectivity Options: Under "Download Image" to "Never (jump
to image only)" and under "KITL Settings", uncheck "Clear memory on reset"

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?

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?

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
