I have a Huawei p30 lite. In the file explorer there's the point neighboring networks. There I can connect to the Fritz Box's NAS server and access the files there. My PC or laptop is also displayed there. But to connect I need a username and password. I tried the login data for the PC and it doesn't work. I deactivated the SMB1 protocol (if that matters). I shared my external hard drive on the PC and would like to access it this way via the mobile phone. Does anyone have any idea whether this works at all and how I can do it?
I did this once at school, we accessed another device via a private network, for this we had given the same username and password to our user account for Windows (to all PCs and we could do this without entering the username and pws If this was not the case, we were then asked the password and username of the user we want to access, so what you have to enter is most likely the password and username of the user.
You can most likely find your PC users at this file path:
C: \ Users
just have to remember or know which PW has which.
I did that. But the problem I have a Microsoft account. I have entered the email address and the corresponding password. Also the local user name. Connection Failed. Perhaps all incoming connections will be refused. Can this be?
I'm still learning, but what I know is that your network should be private for it to work at all.
Enter that into Powershell (admin rights): Get-NetConnectionProfile
and see if NetworkCategory is private, if not just with:
Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private
to change.
Simply means that all network devices are recognized and that your own computer is also visible in the network. Work in the so-called home network group is thus possible. No firewalls or other blocks are activated.
Since this is your LAN network, no other devices can be in without the PW and everything is safe, so you have no locks in the LAN
But if it is already private, look as I said at "C: \ Users" and check whether you are using the correct username.
I executed the command in the shell. The network is private. Should I turn off my firewall and try the connection again? Otherwise I will try to change my password.
Don't turn off the firewall, you should never do that. Now just try to log in again, it should work as long as the user and PW are correct.
My cell phone just says Connection Failed. As you said, I entered my local username which is displayed at C: \ Users. I sign in to my device with a Windows Hello Pin. I tried the pin and the user password. Nothing.
You have to differentiate between domain and workgroup. Working groups are mostly used in the private sector. In order to be able to access the resources of another client in the workgroup, all clients must first belong to the same workgroup and for each user a local user account must be set up for the clients they want to access and the passwords must be set up (if you simply want to have it ) the same on all clients.
Under Windows, the network shares should then be available after a network search.
In your Android you need a network-compatible file browser and you have to add the share manually.
I have just finally managed to access the PC via the mobile phone with the app "Network Category", so what you have to do is first install this app in the Playstore, then you go to your cmd and check which ip you currently have, when selecting you then press on this IP.
But before we do anything, we have to give a folder access to the home network aka. Private network we just have to right-click on the folder and then click on grant access to "certain people", you can remove "everyone" from the list with a right click and then remove, then there would have to be a user with the email and username on it, write the email or the username on the "username" input and the password should be the one you log in with…
Share the whole thing, "share settings" and the app should connect, but you can only see this one folder.
Of course, you can share multiple folders.
After you have removed everyone, look at the cell phone and enter the email or username with pw, but do not press connect, we must first share the folder. You can only press verbiden after the folder has been released.
I got it done. In fact, my phone only supports SMB v1. After I activated this on the PC, I was able to access all released content.
I only had to activate the SMB server version 1 in Windows features, since my mobile phone apparently can't handle the new protocols. I'm aware that this is out of date.
As mentioned in the question, I have integrated a file browser into the internal file explorer. However, I didn't know that it was only compatible with SMB v1. I have now activated the SMB server on the laptop. I'm aware that this is insecure. I have given permission to anyone who has the username and password of my account.
