Works just fine.

 
That is one of the apps I looked at yesterday.
 
So I installed it today. The free version works fine, but is sort of
slow.

 
Yeah, it's restricted to get you to buy the full version.

Yes, I get that.  BTW what is the cost?   I don't see it mentioned
anywhere.

It shows a banner at the top when you launch the app. On my device, the
price displayed was actually "$0.00". So I went ahead and purchased it
at $0 without issue and now have the full version. 🙂👍🏼

One of Arlen's lame trolling tactics is to add a "it must be free"
restriction when someone shows an app that does what he claims isn't
possible. He can't do that here. 🤣

But it can't be. lol.

I know.  Hilarious, sad and pathetic all at the same time.

I can guarantee you Arlen will now go quiet for a few days and
completely ignore this topic. He'll start something else.

He NEVER goes quiet.  He is already back claiming that it is now SO
VERY important that we figure out what port this is using.

But it clearly IS using 445 since (1) it shows that it is using 445
and (2) the standard Windows "Map Network Drive" dialog works fine.

It's using port 445:

# nc -z rogersiphone 1-65535
Connection to rogersiphone port 445 [tcp/microsoft-ds] succeeded!
Connection to rogersiphone port 853 [tcp/domain-s] succeeded!

But it CAN'T be 445 because Arlen KNOWS it can't be. "His understanding" is
the way all things work.

Yup. Never.
