Re: How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers to connect to each other & Windows? They use standard SMB of course. (was: How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers to connect to each other & Windows?)

No you don't. You look for anything that you try and squirm away from the
facts when they don't match your anti-Apple bias.

 
Chris,
 
I'm digging for the answer - like an intelligent person should.

No. An intelligent person would accept the facts. A petulant child would
remain in denial.

Yet I'm well aware of how Apple users think, which is that only Apple can
(magically) do the impossible. It's a defining feature of all Apple users.

Why is this impossible? Do you think it is hard coded into Unix forever that
no one can ever use port 445? Do you think Apple can't change anything they
want?  In their own source code?

Another defining feature of all Apple users is they have no idea how
anything works. That's also what makes Apple users what they are.

I know exactly how this works. I have been networking computers since before
you were born. The only troll here is you, claiming it can't work because YOU
say it can't work. Circular logic much?

You even admitted that Windows SMB needs port 445. The app SHOWS it is using
port 445.

Therefore, it IS using port 445.

AGAIN, why don't you DL the app "LAN Drive SMB Server" and try it?  BTW this
app has existed for a least 6 years. So this is not a new solution.

Why are you always claiming something is "impossible" that you yourself have
never tried?  Remember, you ALSO said it was "impossible to copy a photo from
Windows to iOS without using internet servers".

Do you STILL cling to that absurd claim? As we proved, it not only CAN be
done, but it is easy to do using built-in functionality in both Windows and
iOS. 

Of course, after proving that claim to be wrong, you moved the goal posts by
stating "No, I meant that I want to do all file moves FROM Windows. But that
is impossible".

And here we are, proving that it IS possible by using an SMB Server app on
iOS. And yet you are still claiming it is "impossible", only because you say
it is "impossible".

Now, you are AGAIN changing the "issue" into "What port can this app be using?
 It CAN'T be port 445 because I say so".

Which is just more deflection away from you being wrong twice about moving
files between Windows and iOS. But keep on digging that hole. In a couple more
days you will have been proven wrong 3 times.

What will your next deflection be?  "What I REALLY want is to pretend it is
2005 and do all of this over a USB cable"?
