OS/2: Connect to Windows 7

(1/3) > >>

Eugene Gorbunoff:
I am sorry to make this question again, Does Samba client for OS/2 work for the users?

* The instructions from eCS 2.2 manual don't help
* This instructions don't help -- http://www.eracc.com/content/ecs-samba-client-windows-7-professional

Other suggestions don't help -- http://faq.ecomstation.ru/index.php/RU/CoonectWindowsShare#eComStation_2.2_manual

Configuration:
* let's take standard Windows 7 Pro, clean install
* let's take eCS 2.x, EVFSGUI,  + NetDrive with Samba plugin
* let's setup Windows 7 by eCS 2.2 intsructions
* Current state: Drive letter is attached, No files, if copy files to the drive letter then you see message: Access denied.

Doug Bissett:
It used to work, a few years ago, but microsoft changed the rules, and the current SAMBA client isn't smart enough to keep up.

If you find the instructions for making windows XP work with windows 7, you might be able to get it to go, but that involves turning off most of the, so called, windows security (and I don't think windows 10 will work anyway).

As I understand it, there is a new SAMBA version in development, and even windows 10 should work with it (until microsoft changes the rules again), but that is about all that I know about it.

I have had no problems with installing the SAMBA server in eCS, and using windows (even 10) as a client, so that is what I use.

Eugene Gorbunoff:
* SAMBA Server is a separate topic.

* OS/2 Samba Client, is it compatible with Windows 7 with Service Pack 1?

Not if you want to communicate between windows, and eCS.

SP1 is ancient, in windows terms. I wouldn't even consider trying to use windows 7 at that level any more. I don't remember if SP1 was what screwed it up, or if that came later (later, I suspect). In any case, to get windows 7 to talk to eCS SAMBA client, you need to turn off most (or all) of the security stuff in windows. Even then, it may not work any more.

I'm working on a Samba client for OS/2 based on the latest Samba 4.x code. The focus here is SMB2+ support. I have no idea how this impacts on windows 10 support, or where you would get the idea that the intent is to support windows 10.

Cheers,

Paul
