[Bug 1872476] Re: Shared files are shown as folders

[Andreas Hasenack]

When you are connected with the GUI and seeing all files as browsers,
can you please run smbstatus on your NAS to see what protocol version
was used?

NT1 is used for browsing when you set that option, but the client (your
machine) might switch to a higher version if the NAS says it supports
it.

For example, I just tried with a 20.04 install, browser to my NAS (a
synology DS216) using windows network, and when I actually connected to
a share, smbstatus on the server says it used SMB3_11:

root at ds216:~# smbstatus
29552	1587992052	andreas	10.10.1.230	downloads	SMB3_11


Regarding your smbclient test, you didn't add the -m switch, so it's likely is used a higher protocol version.

Example:
a) no -m switch:
$ smbclient //ds216.lowtech/downloads 
Enter WORKGROUP\andreas's password: 
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>

smbstatus on the NAS:
# smbstatus
29833	1587992358	andreas	10.10.1.195	downloads	SMB3_11


b) with -m NT1:
$ smbclient //ds216.lowtech/downloads -m NT1
Enter WORKGROUP\andreas's password: 
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>

smbstatus on the NAS:
# smbstatus
29816	1587992342	andreas	10.10.1.195	downloads	NT1
