PC to NMT via WiFi?
« on: Oct 31, 2016 at 05:40 AM »
I can access the contents of my shared drives of my desktop through my nmt (MINIX u1), but my question is, can this be done the other way around? Meaning, is there a way where I can access the contents of the MINIX including the attached drives through my PC via wifi?

Go to Settings --> Network --> Samba Server and enable it. While there take note of the ip address, user ID and password that you will need to access it. On your pc open network browser. If you can't see the U1 among the available resources enter on the address bar "\\192.xx.xx.xx" corresponding to the ip address you took down earlier. Enter the user ID and password when it asks for user credentials. You should now be able to see the folders and files on the u1. Be aware that the built in samba server on the u1 is quite primitive and very slow.
