Hi all

I'm struggling to create a shared folder on Windows 11 that my iphone 13 can access and export all of my photos to as a backup once a week.

I'm trying to config haneWIN NFS but failing to get it to work and can't find a config guide to help me.

This is my config file

C:\video -readonly 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 192.18.1.23
"C:\Users\usr\Documents\NFS Server\New folder" -name:server -maproot:0 -alldirs -range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.30
"C:\Users\usr\Documents\iPhone SMB share" -name:iphone13backup -w -lowercase -public -alldirs

  • I've tried Photosynch and that sees my laptop but fails to synch.
  • I've tried an SMB folder share and that fails in Windows.
  • I've watched Chris Titus share a folder in Windows 11 but his webpage highlighting how to share a Windows 11 folder isn't working and I can't make out the config.
  • I've tried creating a share in haneWIN with the above config, exporting it, saving it and then restarting the server and that doesn't work.
  • I've searched Reddit and mede8erforum.com
  • I want to try booting up into a Linux image, creating an NFS share, dumping the photos and then moving the photos to my laptops main drive.
  • I may need to do a Windows reinstall
  • Running an HP Elitebook with Windows 11 version 23H2.
Can someone point me in the direction of a guide or reliable app to help me please?

I can't plug my phone into my laptop and backup my images that way as when I do that, the Photos app just reads corrupted images on the iphone even using multiple cables.

Many thanks in advance
 
Can you not just install and run Windows native NFS?

EDIT: Ignore that, I see that it's just a client and not a server. My bad.

I would however, check your Windows Firewall settings.

I could but I don’t know how to configure it.

I watch a Chris Titus video on the subject and I’ve enabled the NFS system but I don’t know the command to create a shared folder in Windows 11.

Do you have a guide on how to do that?

I looked at one but it was for Windows server and the commands didn’t work.

I’m using Glasswire and it’s on click to block with the application set to full access.

I have disabled the firewall but will try disabling it again.

I've just downloaded hanewin and tried it. I can't get it to work either - I'm getting authentication errors.
 
Have you tried sharing a folder using windows native folder sharing and connecting with that? I can get that working fine.

I've found a solution. It's not amazing but it works. Photosync creates a web interface on port 8080 where you can log in and download all of your images as a .zip file. It's not great but it does mean that I can disable iCloud now.

The Linux effort went down the usual Linux thread due to interdependencies and bugs between applications so I will try that again but for now, it's not working. The Windows Photos app has a bug that a lot of people are complaining about and the solution, apparently, is to charge your phone to 100%. That didn't work for me.

I do think I'll need to do a reinstall sometime to get all of these issues resolved but that's future Jolly's problem and screw that guy.
 
Creating a bootable Ubuntu flash drive and plugging in the phone and dumping the images works about as well as one could hope for so if anyone needs to know, just do that.
