Hi everybody, new J2 user here.
I want to access files on my NAS, which serves as a data hub for all my devices. I found some old threads about mounting via CLI, but is there a non-hacky way (app/add-on) to access these files through one of the file manager apps available in one of the app stores?
Thanks for a hint; I’ve been hanging out around here ever since the J2 was announced and placing my pre-order.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the JP2 yet (#565X), and I’m not aware of any simple way to add SMB mounting capabilities to SFOS.
However, I am also very interested in the answer to your question.
Since I assume there is still no easy solution, I would also be interested to know if anyone has tried the more laborious method (compiling cifs-utils directly on the phone) on the JP2 and can share their feedback.
With the Xperia 10 III, even that approach didn’t work at first, because early SFOS versions for the device couldn’t yet load kernel modules.
I am struggling with Nextcloud similar issue.
There was FishNetMount on OpenRepos but unfortunately neither was it ever ported to aarch64 nor made open source.
Both Samba/CIFS and NFS are disabled in the kernel.
So no.
WebDAV usually works, as does SFTP (ssh) and plain FTP.
nemo@PGJolla26-I:~ $ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i cifs
# CONFIG_CIFS is not set
nemo@PGJolla26-I:~ $ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i nfs
# CONFIG_NFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_NFSD is not set
nemo@PGJolla26-I:~ $
Thanks. Looks like I’ll have to get WebDAV running on my openmediavault installation. Last time I tried, I failed miserably.
I checked the appstores for “ftp” but all I found was cli tools or ftp servers to access the phone from outside. Did I miss something? (I like the idea of midnight commander, though)
I’m a bit afraid of mixing access protocols. Years ago I tried NFS and smb from different machines and got myself into a mess with user.group and rwx. I’ll have to see how it works this time.
Thanks for the info.
That’s exactly what I was afraid of.
I seem to recall that this was also the case with the early SFOF versions for the Xperia 10 III.
Back then, however, NFS worked, so I could make do with that until the kernel configuration was adjusted. NFS wasn’t ideal, though; like @vishcompany, I constantly had issues with file and folder permissions.
I hope the kernel configuration for the JP2 is at least adjusted to allow CIFS to be loaded.
All that would really require is a small configuration change before compiling the kernel.
But why nfs is disabled on the kernel of Jolla Phone 2026? For me it is a must have functionality, which I have used in my previous devices with sailfishOS 
I don’t know how helpful it is but VLC can see and play everything that’s shared over SMB on our network when it runs in AppSupport.
I would think that there must be some more general file browser apps for android that have their own SMB implementation likewise that would help do what you want.
There’s a quite new native app that got FTP support after I requested it: Ferry Sync.
There’s also a thread:
I can confirm that Ghost Commander installed from F-droid works for accessing files on linux smb share, and VLC for streaming media. But for simple file transfer I prefer rsync over ssh.
