Hi,

Thank you for the steps..

I believe we will need to specify the exact path to the folder on step 5, else we will get rejected with 'reason: error unknown'.

Cheers

To support SMB v2/3, which is needed for most customers who have disabled SMBv1 due to security reasons, R80.40 or R80.30 3.10 is needed.

Hi Norbert,

Read no issue. It just not able to write to the file share.
Is this normal?

[Norbert_Bohusch]

This has nothing to do with what I said.
If it's related to SMBv1 you wouldn't be able to access completely.
