Breaking the habit of a lifetime I have bought a Windows computer,
DELL XPS 13. I intend to install a Linux system on it but there it has
a documented problem with the Broadcom wireless card.
In the meantime I need to access the machine from RISC OS. Can anyone
recommend an FTP server that runs on win 10? I have been put off from
trying FileZilla by negative comments online.
Alternatively, is it possible touse !Omni, or anything else, to access
Windows 10 shared files?

Why not use Lanman98? There's probably a good reason why you've not used
it but to my naive mind that seems the obvious route!

The latest version of LanmanFS is version 2.52, 9th August 2015, which
supports NTLM encrypted log-ins. This *should* work with Windows 10 (I'm
using Win8, and it works with that).
It's in the most recent version of RISC OS I've installed on ARMX6 and I
believe (but don't shoot me if I'm wrong) it's in the more recent beta
releases for the other platforms. Look for the overnight builds on the ROOL
website.
If you aren't running RISC OS 5* (or aren't willing to upgrade to a more
recent build) then Lanman98 (which CJE sell) *should* be okay, but I'm less
confident - that would be a case of ring them and double check.
* According to your headers you are (5.21 - so an antique version ;)

I have 5.22 on the ARMiniX, but must get around to upgrading my
antique Iyonix.
I have an old version of LanMan98 but from your note above it seems I
should not need to use it, as LanmanFS does the same job.
My problem is confusion compounded by out of date information and lack
of documentation. Could you point me to a link which explains !Omni
and how to use it.

Windows Share and accessing it from RISC OS - hopefully I've not missed any
steps (obviously, everything's already up and running here, so it's possible
I may have forgotten to mention something I had to do in the first place -
but I *think* it's all there).

I have downloaded 5.23 and extracted the new !Omni with encrypted
log-in support.
Unfortunately I cannot get it to work with my Windows 10 system. I may
specified the parameters incorrectly.
But it may have somethngto do with Windows 10 Home edition not having
support for domains.

I followed your very clear instructions to the letter.
Result - message from Omni - "cannot find given server"
Then I changed the server name from xps to 192.168.1.7
Result - message from Omni - "Already connected to this drive on this
server"
so near and yet so far!

Yes I'm having the same problem.
Using the same info as I use to config a disk in LM98, Omni continues to
throw up "Cannot find given server"
Whatever that means...
The given server is: "Blackfan" or 192.168.0.4 (Sans quotes).
The Dir path is: "C:\Apps" Which on the Win side is a shared dir.
User: Everyone
So what is the answer? I have no idea...

When I click "save mounts" Omni crashes with "insufficient memory". It
needs a larger Next slot, but I can't see/remember how to change that
permanently.
I find the interface irritating. There's no help for a start. If you
run Omni, and click on the icon bar icon, it shows "Lan Manager".
Clicking on that gives what looks like a connection window, which
isn't.
The Mounts -> Protocols -> Lan Manager route isn't easily discovered.

When I click "save mounts" Omni crashes with "insufficient memory". It
needs a larger Next slot, but I can't see/remember how to change that
permanently.
I find the interface irritating. There's no help for a start. If you
run Omni, and click on the icon bar icon, it shows "Lan Manager".
Clicking on that gives what looks like a connection window, which
isn't.
The Mounts -> Protocols -> Lan Manager route isn't easily discovered.

I gave up on LanMan and switched to SunFish so long ago, I forget why
exactly but I remember it had something to do with Windows updating
itself and suddenly LanMan stopped working, leaving me high and dry and
swearing a lot, being reduced to swapping files on USB memory.
I had the choice to wait for an upgrade or switch to SunFish and stick an
NFS server on my PC. I needed it to work right away and it did but
installing the NFS server wasn't trivial and felt always like a terrible
bodge. It involved an arcane command being typed into a command window!!
(shudder!). Nowadays I don't bother with accessing my PC directly because
of those Windows updates which at any time could suddenly block RISC OS.
(OH! LOOK! W10!) Instead, I use shared folders on a NAS to exchange
files, which is really the only way to share files between RISC OS and
un-jailbroken Android anyway.
Better to have one server device rather than everything running multiple
servers (bandwidth!). So much easier to maintain too. Anyone without a
NAS can buy one when they need a new backup device. So cheap now. As a
bonus, personal 'clouds' are said to be more secure than 'real' cloud
services.

The failure has nothing to do with 5.23 or ArmX6. It also happens on
5.21 on Iyonix.
The wimpslot in the !Run file has min and max set to 36K.
I changed max to 200k and the Save appeared to work, but as noted
somewhere else there seems to be no way of retrieving the Save.

When you save the connections you have made/set up, they should just appear
as entries on the 'Mounts' submenu the next time you run OmniClient.
(The only thing that isn't saved is the password - there may be a way to do
that, but I prefer security over convenience!)
As an aside (perhaps I should have read the whole thread before posting at
all) - if you're saving the connections, does that mean you've now solved
the problem of not being able to connect to the share?

Hmm. It wouldn't surprise me if there are other things I did when setting
the computer up in the first place that were relevent, but have since
forgotten, therefore didn't mention in that post.
The only real way to be sure is to go through the whole set up from scratch
- and while I *do* have another virgin PC to set up (it's been sitting new
in its box since around July IIRC), which would therefore be ideal for this,
I've nowhere to put it at the mo.
That aside, one thing that seems plausible in the context of this problem,
which I didn't mention, is how your network is set up: I'm using DHCP, and
I'm fairly sure the router is set as the name server on RISC OS. (It
certainly is on Windows).
If you are using static addresses, I would expect it to still work, but
you'll need an appropriate entry in your hosts file to address the computer
by name. (This is probably stating the obvious, but sometimes the obvious
can be overlooked).

Curious. "Cannot find given server" when trying to connect by name
looks like a failure to resolve the server name.
"Connection rejected by server" might have several causes: incorrect
credentials, or the firewall blocking port 139/TCP, are the first
things I would look at.

This adds a new gadget to Boot Configure, particularly useful for none
RISC OS user to configure Boot items On or Off (Enable/Disable) without
having to Remove (Delete) it as happens in some RISC OS versions.
Last version I have is 1.05.

Just done a test after installing TaskSetup 1.05 on some ROOL RISC OS

Many belated thanks to Vince for this. I've finally got a round tuit,
and at last I can see Win7 shares from this ARMX6. Seasonal blessings
upon Vince and all his tribe!
I can now also transfer using ShareFS files from VRPC to the ARMX6;
till now, I could transfer ARMX6 > VRPC but not vice versa; that I can
do now is presumably a side-effect of successful sharing. Till today I
had to transfer either via the NAS or using a USB stick.
Only one problem remains, and not a major one. The only W7 folder I've
tried to share is its Dropbox folder. The correct word appears beneath
the LanMan98 icon, but clicking this gives the message "Connection
down". If I then try connecting to any of the other shares they
connect properly. Anyone have any idea why this should be so?

Well, blow me down! No idea what I did, but I can now share the
Dropbox folder too. I shall reverse the Windows Haiku:
Once it did not work.
Now, behold, it works for me.
Windows is like that.
