Re: How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers to connect to each other & Windows?

Frank Slootweg and I discussed this years ago and the problem with Android
running an SMB server is the ports are 139 (SMB over NetBIOS) and 445 (SMB
directly over TCP/IP) both of which are below 1024 and hence impossible on
a non-rooted Android. Since 139 is deprecated, let's just talk about 445.
 
It's my understanding non jailbroken iOS has the exact same restrictions.
Windows expects SMB to be on port 445.

As per usual your understanding of iOS is lacking. There is no such
restriction.

I use "LAN Drive Samba server" and these are the server settings:

Works just fine.
