How do I enable (experimental) SMB2 support on my ReadyNAS DUO?

Hello,

 

I have a ReadyNAS DUO (RAIDiator 4.1.16) that needs to have SMB 2 enabled so I can use it to backup (with Windows 10) over the local (home) network.

 

I understand there is a way to SSH into the ReadyNAS to set this flag?

 

Please describe how this can be done.

 

Thank you

  • You should be using root as the username, and the NAS admin password.

    You could also try adding the following lines to the global section in /etc/samba/smb.conf and rebooting the NAS:

    min protocol = SMB2
    max protocol = SMB2

      I've installed SMB 1 on Windows 10 and can now at least map a drive the ReadyNAS but still need to connect over SSH in order t set those values in smb.conf.

       

      Can you advise settings in putty (or other client) to do so?

       

      I'm never prompted for a username/pw but get connection refused.

       

      thank you
