Windows 10: Question about protocols (SAMBA, WEBDAV..)

Hello, i planned to get a NAS to be able to access my file through WEDDAV since i was told it's quite the equal of SAMBA on your local network. However i just learned it's limited to 4GB file size. Not ok for me, i got files much larger and it's actually the one i'd use the most (streaming these; not necessarily media though). Is there another protocol i could use? Either using Synology (better), either WD My Cloud. Let me know, thanks

:)

 

Linux Samba settings to display Windows shares


Hi folks

Samba needs a different setting to display Windows or any of the SAMBA shares - especially if its version of Linux / NAS server needs / uses SMB1

You still need to set the SMB1 option in Add features to windows of course.

also in the samba config file ensure this line is in the global section


[global]
max protocol = NT1 <===+++++++++++++++++

(Not client max protocol !!)

what this actually does (apart from working !!! ) I have no idea but it fixed 4 Linux machines which suddenly stopped listing Samba shares under network. I saw the suggestion on some weird website - have no idea of the link though - must have been imbibing some of those nice malted fluids kari likes. !!!

Works also with ubuntu guests as well as Hosts and Centos guests and hosts. haven't messed around with other Linux distros as I don't really use them.

What is "Jackrabbit Webdav Server"? Why is it wanting my password?

• What is Jackrabbit?

Sounds scary to me, do you use Java?

• What's with the unsecure connection?

As you put it "my destination", is not secure. What I've seen is, this crops up when somehow a microsoft office 07, 10, and 13 application tries to use an unsecure connection.

• How do I stop this?

There may be a way but you will need to work in the registry, first go over this KB article: https://Office application opens blank from Sharepoint,WebDAV or site when it is HTTP | support.microsoft.com/en-us/help

The area you want to concentrate on is: Step 1: Configure WebDAV Redirector on the client. Skip the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 part and go to the Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 To enable Basic authentication on the client computer, and study the steps. You may be adding a key. BasicAuthLevel [some systems already have the key but it's set to 0 ]. Before you start create a restore point: System Restore Point - Create in Windows 10 Then complete the steps from the beginning of the Vista, 7, 8 section.

• Here's a heads up:

1.) I've seen that the BasicAuthLevel can exist in your registry but it's set to ( 0 ) which causes the problem you're experiencing. Then all you have to do is change the value by right clicking on it and left click on Modify then enter a 1 or 2 in the value data box.

2.) It says to use a value of 2 for the BasicAuthLevel value but this is for secure and non secure SSL connections, I haven't found anything as to what is meant by non-secure SSL .

I did take a look at my registry and found it's set to (1) 1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only: One (1) is what I'd go with.
