LAN plugin: Cannot connect to Ubuntu 20.04 using SMB2
Posted: 2021-01-13, 16:35 UTC
Hi,
I've been trying for days to get TC to connect to my Ubuntu 20.04 pc using the LAN plugin.
I am able to connect using Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04 & another android app (foldersync) so I assume the server side is setup correctly.
I have tried every option I can think of. All the server names below, all combinations of tick boxes, with or without users & password.
The ip is 192.168.1.151 and the folder I'm trying to connect to is "Desktop"
Using Server names:
192.168.1.151
192.168.1.151/Desktop
//192.168.1.151
Result in "Getting directory, Error connecting to server,"
//192.168.1.151/Desktop
Results in "Getting directory, lookup 192.168.1.151/Desktop" & "SMB2 Connect:192.168.1.151/Desktop" &" DNS lookup 192.168.1.151/Desktop". After a few seconds it seems to give up. I though I was getting somewhere but I get the same result putting a random word in.
The server is set to share with "anyone", no user or password needed.
Windows connected fine just using "192.168.1.151", it showed the list of shared folders (eg Desktop)
Ubuntu 16.04 insisted on a user and password, worked whatever I put in there.
Foldersync needed a "share name" which had to be the name of the shared folder, in this case Desktop. (No user or password)
From what I've read Ubuntu 20.04 will have to connect using SMB2 or above.
I have tried plugin 3.07 & 3.20
It does work fine connecting to the windows pc but I'm not sure if that uses SMB2
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
