This is a block diagram of the network at my shop
The Printer Control Computer (PCC) has a shared folder on its C Drive called "Hotfolder". It is visible and fully accessible to every computer and kiosk on the wired network, i.e. all computers can read from it, write to it and edit the files in it.
The problem is that I cannot even "see" this folder on any device that is connected to the network via WiFi, be it an iPhone, iPad, Galaxy phone, Galaxy tablet, or Laptop running either Windows or MacOS. They can all see the WiFi connection, and they can all connect to the internet via the WiFi connection, but they cannot see the shared folder.
What I am wanting to do is have customers be able to send photos, or folders of photos for printing, directly from their mobile device to the hotfolder.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Full details
► All computers and kiosks are running Win XP Pro SP3 (please don''t tell me to get Win 7 or Win 8. The software that runs the Kiosks and the Printer will not run on anything other than Win 2000 or Win XP. I've tried.)
► Full network name of the PCC = D702-cntl-2
► Path to the "hotfolder" = C:\NORITSU/hotfolder
(So the full network path to "hotfolder" is \\D702-cntl-2/hotfolder)
PS: I would rather NOT have to have the customer needing to download an app to do this as it gets a bit messy with all the different mobile devices out there.
