While it may not be possible to run an SMB server without root or using port forwarding, it is possible to run a WebDAV server without root for a similar effect. But it's not really a straight-forward way.

So I guess if you use Linux or a separate SMB client for Windows which allows to connect to a server with a custom port number it's probably possible. It's possible to use alternative ports for SMB but Windows is hard-wired to just listen to the default ones. Why is this important? Apps not running as root can't bind to unprivileged ports (<1024). Long answer: SMB either runs on ports 137-139 (UDP and TCP) using NetBIOS or on newer systems (from Windows Vista onwards) directly on TCP port 445 where in the latter case computer names are resolved by the LLMNR (Link-local Multicast Name Resolution) protocol which runs on UDP port 5355. Short answer: No, without root it's not possible to run an SMB server using the default ports so that it's found by Windows PCs. Cyberduck) have no problems with auto-discovery of these shares.As your original question still isn't answered and I wondered the same, here's the answer. It is weird, that WebDAV and FTP shares are ignored (not auto-mounted by Finder), though they are supported by Bonjour. Your share will be auto-discovered by Bonjour and magically appears in Finder.

Even if you set a password on the WebDAV share, the connection is still http not https, so it is not encrypted.

The downside of using the web browser is that it only shows the date (no size or type) and makes no distinction between files and directories so if a file doesn't have an extension (or a directory does) then it may not be obvious if clicking on a link will take you to another web page (for a directory) or start a download (for a file).īy default, Windows limits the size of WebDAV downloads to 50000000 bytes (47.6MB), though this can be changed through a registry hack ( FileSizeLimitInBytes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters) if you know what you are doing. Changing directory rarely takes more than a second and downloading the same 42MB file from the web browser took around 12 seconds, so around 3.6MB/s. The fastest option for WebDAV is to use your web browser though, directly through the URL given. Using the WebDAV server through a web browser Copying the same 42MB file from the command line took around 20 seconds, so around 2.1MB/s. Using the WebDAV server through Windows command lineĮven from the command line, each directory listing takes 5-6 seconds, as does any file access. around 50KB/s or 10 files/dirs per minute on average. I synced 1.75GB of data in around 6000 files and 400 directories and it took 10 hours, i.e. Thus WebDAV via Windows Explorer is Ok for downloading a few large files whose location you know, but browsing or syncing a whole device this way isn't quick. Once a file is accessed though, it transfers at a reasonable speed (copying a single 42MB file in Windows Explorer took around 60 seconds, so 700KB/s). I then mapped as a network drive in Windows Explorer and could the access the contents of my storage drive, just as if I was connected via MTP, but through a drive letter.Įvery directory change takes between 6 and 20 seconds, as does accessing most files. Using the WebDAV server through Windows Explorer Note that with WebDAV, you also have the option of selecting Root (/) or DCIM as well as SdCard as the WebDAV root. On my stock Nexus 7, I installed WebDAV Server, opened it, clicked on the start button and was immediately able to see my /storage/sdcard folder in my web browser at the URL displayed by the application, i.e.
