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.

Little Arlen is dead wrong, as usual:

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

Arlen is a fucking clown. 🤣

Hence the paradox:

The only paradox here is your constant claim that you supposedly know
more than the rest of us about all things Apple, when the glaring truth
is you actually know very little.

A. Neither iOS nor Android can run a server on port 445.

Wrong. iOS can do this all day.

B. Yet, these apps "advertise" SMB-server functionality.

Hmmm... what port do they run on?

Here's the real question: What does your brain run on (beside irrational
hatred of Apple)? You got a hamster wheel jammed up in there or something?
