Browse your computer from android!

[Stericson]

JesusFreke, over at XDA, has discovered that you can mount your computer using some busybox commands native to his modified rc30 update v1.2. It is pretty neat, you can browse your computer, pull files from it put files. I am sure there is more you can do but this is relatively new so you guys will have to play with it.

Want to try? Heres what you need:

Root access!

Jesusfreke mod rc30 update v1.2
http://jf.nyquil.org/update_TC4-RC30...a-dev_v1.2.zip

From the market you will need:
linda file manager
terminal emulator

You will also need:
Your computer's Ipv4 address
and a working wireless home connection (wifi)

For ease of doing this it is recommended that you use adb to input these commands but they can be done through the phone if your patient enough.

Once you have everything this is what you will need to type:

su (gain root)
chmod 0777 /data
mkdir /data/portal
busybox insmod cifs
mount -t cifs //<ip>/<share>$ /data/portal -o username=<user>,password=<password>

For the above command ip would be your computers ipv4 address, share should be the drive letter on your computer yopu want to access, user should be the administrative account on your computer, and password should be that accounts password if there is one.

assuming you entered it correctly and the right ip, username, and password for your computer

type

ls /data/portal

You should now see a list of the folders on your computer.

Now open up linda file manager and go to phone --> data --> portal

Voila! there's your computer....Pretty sweet huh?

BTW, if you want to secure that connection from apps using it, type this when mounting it:
mount -t cifs //<ip>/<share>$ /data/portal -o username=<user>,password=<password>,mode=700

Doing this the file manager won't even be able to browse it, in fact, no app will be able to.
