Q. I'm having problems file sharing to a Windows computer/connecting to a Windows server. Is the new SMB2 protocol in Catalina causing issues?A. Probably. You can control which protocol is used to connect to file servers in the Finder > Go menu > Connect to Server… dialogue box by using: cifs://server.name.or.ipaddress = SMB1 smb://server.name.or.ipaddress = SMB2 afp://server.name.or.ipaddress = AFP* https://www.macstrategy.com/article.php?227== FreeBSD reports that mount_smbfs offers support for SMB/CIFS/SMB1 only == smbutil(1), nsmb.conf(5) Other resources: - Chapter dedicated to Samba configuration in the FreeBSD Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-samba.html STANDARDS mount_smbfs offers support for SMB/CIFS/SMB1. It does not support newer versions of the protocol like SMB2 and SMB3. SMB2 and SMB3 are supported by software available in the ports(7) collection. The list of supported SMB servers includes: - Samba - Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (SPs 4, 5, 6) - IBM LanManager - NetApp* https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?mount_smbfs(8)
