Connecting to network drives?

Hi'ya'll!

Does anyone know if the 9500 can be connected to a network drive (such as windows or Samba shares)? I don't think it's possible "out-of-the-box", from what I've read. But it should be possible to develop a 3rd party application that does it?!?

With WiFi it would be cool if you could have access to your files on your PC/Server so that you can for example listen to MP3s from your whole collection... WOHOO! Or why not download attachments and save them onto your server...? Or why not be able to browse your photos and email them to your friends...

Not possible out of the box, but if someone creates an NFS (Network File System) or Microsoft SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) client/driver, for example.

I think that itsnot that difficult at all, out of the box it's shipped with different vpn tools so it would be possible to create a connection through edge or wifi. Otherwise you should be able to run a ftp app on this device. Check the specs again and find out.
