  AFAICT, that wasn't 'Arlen''s point. I did make that comment, and I
made it in an *Android* context, where it's not possible, because you
can't have a (Windows compatible) SMB server on port 445 on (non-rooted)
Android. (I also gave my alternatives for the Windows-Android case.)
I also asked you (Tyrone) if iOS could have a SMB server on port 445.

  Well, Android is 'Unix' too, but it still has the above limitation.
