I think I am not the only person who got tired by the files sent by Bluetooth messages or to in/ out the cable data.
So, usually few years ago Linux computers could not communicate with Windows computers. For that, Samba was created, so Linux could communicate with computers that have Windows installed. More, people from Telexy created SymSMB so Symbian is able to communicate with Windows. The idea behind is very simple: WiFi router, WiFi phones, why we should no create a WIFI network? And they did it.
I suppose you know how to setup Windows for sharing; if not you could find a lot of tutorials on this topic. Our goal in this article would be to setup Symbian. Once you enter in the application, you will have 3 options. We are interested in Control panel –> Network Drives. A window in which you can choose the drive, the access point and the account should appear. If the window does not appear it means you got elsewhere, so you should take it over. If you see the window, you should start setting up:
Name: any name you think about;
Drive: whatever is available;
Access point: Select your access point (WiFi router);
Account: you could tell me that you did not setup an account; but if you have a normal Windows as most people have, the system is not very secure; so if you want that everyone to have access to it let Everyone; if you want to have different permissions for different users, you should create the users (with password) in Control Panel -> Accounts, above all;
Host: computer name, you can find it in Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Computer name; it is written under "Full computer name";
Share: name you chose for shared resource (drive, folder); you can find it by right click in Explorer on the shared resource -> Sharing and Security; it is written "Share name";
After you finished click Done (right selection key) and that’s all.
After that anytime you want to use the resource, you can access it in My phone.
