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

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

  Note though that you may experience issues with since it's experimental.

  If you get connection refused without it offering you a login, then you likely don't have SSH enabled on the NAS.

    I get the offer for first the Username and second the password (which is correct as I am able to login via the broweser) but then the connection closes right away. Tried it with 2 different SSH clients and both with SMB v1 and V2 connections.
