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
