Hi! Im trying to transfer files from my Windows laptop to Norns shield. I followed the docs and if i type \norns.local in file browser I find the dust folder where all the files are supposed to be located. But when I try to connect to it, it asks me network identification information thats related to Windows protection. I need to type a username and a password. I tried the Norns ip address, norns, norns.local and some others as usernames and nnnnnnnn and sleep as passwords but I cant get through. It says im denied to use this network.
I have connected norns to my PC via Norns’s hotspot (i couldnt get this far using Wi-Fi). Is this a problem with some Windows safety and privacy settings or should I know some other usernames and passwords for Norns?
I can access Maiden with a web browser. But I cant transfer files through Maiden, right?
I had to experiment with the settings in Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Advanced sharing settings - there was a lot of trial and error, but eventually it all started to work (kinda wish I’d documented it more thoroughly, or even at all, at the time!) - but the end result is that now I just open File Explorer, type in \\my_Shield's_IP_address (the double backslash at the start is important) and i can get to all three subsections of Dust from there. Browse to audio and copy/paste as required.
Thanks dan and Helen! I got dans Cyberduck method to work. For some reason I can also access maiden now through wifi also, not only hotspot like before. I’ll need to try if I can find the right menus to make Helens solution for file transfer to work also.
