SMB2/3 protocol
|
Hi, I’ve successfully ported the libsmb2 library to RISC OS and it can be compiled using the DDE. The sources for it is currently available in my GitHub repos. Please see https://github.com/Rob-McKay/RiscOS-smb2/tree/main for details. I’m in the process of making the library a module. I know that there is a bounty for `More recent LanManFS protocols` and I think that this library achieves:
Other authentication options are available if/when the libraries libsmb2 uses for them are available on RISC OS. I’ve currently only tested the library with a couple of the example apps which come with the library connecting to a Windows 2019 server. I hope this is useful for the RISC OS community |

Rob, good to hear the news, sounds promising. :) |

This is excellent news that I have been waiting for for years. With every new update in Windows or in my NAS, I worry that I will no longer be able to connect to it. I know there is an experimental SMB2/3 client for RISC OS, but that’s a stand-alone application that doesn’t merge with the filer. So yes, this is great news. |

Excellent news. I’ve never been able to get RISC OS to talk to my Mac and I believe that’s down to SMB versions, so it sounds like this is a big step in the right direction :) |

With the latest version of SMB, even my old MacBookPro is unable to see the M1 MacMini. At least the the MacMini can see the MacBookPro, and they can both see the older (pre-ARM) MacMini (which is now serving as a file server). |
