Access to a computer’s disk via WiFi / Internet using the Symbian client built-in (using Nokia N86, Win7, and IIS6.1 as an example)
PS I just transferred the old topic to Symbian.
Not so long ago I bought myself a new phone - this is my first Symbian phone. The Nokia N86 8MP runs the Series S60 fp3, and there are plenty of chips that the manufacturer did not bother to talk about either on the manual or on the web (Remote drives, XDM profile, configurations, etc.).
One of these features is remote drives (remote web drive). What it is and where it is - one can only guess. The first thing that comes to mind is that this functionality is needed for online backup. Only trouble with him, with online backup. In 2009, most services began either to sell their services very expensively, or simply closed. I found one of these services with 1 gig of free space (box.net), set up a remote drive and even could connect to it, but I couldn’t see the list of files and / or directories. The next thing that was found on the web is that the “remote drives” application is essentially a WebDAV client. Further simpler is a search according to WebDAV Win7, and it turns out that the WebDAV module has been included in IIS since the fifth version.
Well, to kill a few days in the fight against IIS in an attempt to share the daddy from the computer for the phone is a holy thing. It is important that everything is done using standard Windows and Symbian tools, without any extra $ 0.99 there. Go.

- Install IIS. IIS6.1 is included with some editions of Windows Vista / 7, you only need to enable it. To do this, go to Start -> Control Panel, then Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off.
Tick the components in the Internet Information Services groups as shown in the picture. Absolutely, we need the IIS Management Console - for server management, standard http chips, basic and windows authentication, and most importantly - WebDAV Publishing.
After all the components are installed, click the windows (start) button, type iis and start the management console from the search results. In the tree on the left we find the default website (default web site), make sure that it is running. Checking the performance in the browser: http: // loclhost
. The browser should show an IIS stub image.
Well done, half done. - Add the user to the system (control panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety ...), I think everyone knows how to do it
- Choose a directory for storing data. By default, this is the root of the web server (C: \ inetpub \ wwwroot), but you can select any other directory. It is important to give the user that you created in the previous step full rights to this directory (right-click on the folder - properties - security ...)
- We begin to edit the properties of the website:
- Enable Basic Authentication:
- Turn on Directory Browsing:
- Configure WebDAV Publishing:
- We give access to the server to our user:
- That's it, setup is done. But, before typing logins / passwords on an uncomfortable phone keypad, you need to make sure that everything works. Here the thing is - if everything works in the browser, it is not a fact that it will work on the phone. We need to make sure that the disk we created can be mounted by the guest system. Therefore, we will imitate it on our own computer.
@> net use * 127.0.0.1 : 8081 / * / USER: "username"
Type the password for 127.0.0.1 : 8081 /:
Drive X: is now connected to 127.0.0.1 : 8081 /.
The command completed successfully. - If the installation has passed, then, most likely, it will pass on Symbian. On the phone, go to Menu -> Tools -> Connection-> Remote drives, press Options-> Create new disk. Enter the disk name, computer IP address, login / password, Back
Options-> Connect. If arrows appeared to the right of the disk and no one cursed about anything - cheers, everything worked out. You can now climb onto a disk, for example, with the standard File Manager, which means that it can also be used for high purposes - for example, wireless backup or file transfer. Good luck
