What do you mean with "waste money"? Both Android apps mentioned in the thread you linked are supposed to have a 7 day trial.

Can't tell if this can work (and if root is required) because of missing knowledge about Android.

Getting a cheap computer might be a better alternative. I personally use a Raspberry Pi for providing SMB shares to the PS2.


Good luck and have fun!

Edit: Description of "Servers Ultimate" says:
- Root needed: Port forwarder, VNC, VPN, SMB Native
Not sure what they mean with "Native" here.
