SMB/CIFS file sharing

when i transfer files from my mac to my PC small hidden files get transfered along with them. I understand what they are and the intention of this however when i Transfer mp3's into my music folder and import them using Creative source organizer it also imports the small hidden files. Is there a way to stop this from happening so i don't have to delete them after the transfer?

I created a .NET 2.0 application that does this:

  • Smb/cifs file system authentication name TROUBLE!!!!

    I have a MacPro inside the domain group with Windows-based machine and Windows Server 2003.
    Every time I try to connect to windows machine the window pop up with smb/cifs file system authentication& Where You have to fill in workgroup or domain name, name and password. So workgroup or domain name is ok (correct), the password is that you type every time ( but its ok too), but the NAME is wrong. Every time NAME is the same ( I try to change it every single day). I could find no a single article or help where the system store that NAME
    My question is that: How on earth can I change that NAME or where it could be changed, and why some times when I try to connect I instantly get shared folders (on some machines) then on others never and you have to type the NAME and PASSWORD every single time.
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    Not sure if you noticed this but this is the wrong forum for this issue. You are in the iPhone network section. Perhaps go to the OS X Networking board and try posting again.
    As a side note you could try using a program called Supinfo Share Manager which you can get from http://www.labo-apple.com/SupinfoShareManager201.zip
    It can store info for favorite smb shares such as sharepoint, username, password and such. Might help.

  • Smb/CIFS file system authentication

    Do you know where to find the computer name and password if you cannot remember them?

  • Problems with SMB and file sharing in Lion

    I have an HP OfficeJet 8500 Premier that is only 2 years old.  One of the things I loved about it was the ability to scan documents to a folder on my Mac.  Unfortunately, the only filesharing HP supports is SMB.  In SnowLeopard, SMB worked great (as long as SMB was set up in "Sharing"). 
    Now, however, I cannot connect my HP printer/scanner to my Mac via SMB.  I have rebooted my Mac, rebooted my printer, turned on then off the SMB sharing, tried to re-setup the scan-to folder on my printer...all to no avail. 
    One other oddity--when I try to turn off my SMB account (my login account) in sharing, it won't let me.  It asks for a password then unchecks the account briefly, then re-checks the account (leaving it on).  I have the opposite problem on my MBP--when I try to turn on SMB sharing and select the account, it asks for a password and briefly checks the account box, then un-checks it.
    Anyone have any solutions for getting an HP printer/scanner to Scan-to a Mac running 10.7?
    Thanks,
    T.

    Chih,
    I also have a Xerox 6180 MFP that stopped connecting to a Lion Server machine via SMB, but I was able to come up with a workaround using FTP:
    Although Lion Server's GUI doesn't have a service switch for FTP, it still exists and can be turned on via command line.
    This is the workflow: Everyone at my office shares the Xerox 6180 scanner, so I created individual scan bins in the Xerox Directory for every user.  A user would select their scan bin on the Xerox 6180 (Scan > Server > Scan to... Richard's Scan Bin) and make their scan.  The Xerox 6180 FTPs the file to a Mac Mini running Lion Server.  The user goes back to their workstation, logs into the server via AFP, and grabs the file out of their private scan bin.
    My workaround on OSX Lion Server:
    1.) I already had a "xerox" user in a group called "scangroup" via the Server.app.  This user is for the Xerox 6180.
    2.) In Terminal.app, I created an ftp access group called "com.apple.access_ftp":
       sudo dseditgroup -o create com.apple.access_ftp
    3.) Then I added my "scangroup" group to "com.apple.access_ftp":
       sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a scangroup -t group com.apple.access_ftp
    4.) Next, I turned on FTP:
       sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
    5.) In the "xerox" user's home folder, I created a directory called "Scans" and sharepoint subdirectories in it for each Shared User account (e.g. ~/Scans/Richard's Scan Bin)
    6.) In Server.app, I gave each Shared User read/write permission to only their subdirectory (i.e. The shared user "Richard" has read/write permission for "Richard's Scan Bin" folder)
    7.) In the Xerox Server Address Book Directory, I created entries for each user.  i.e.:
       Name: Richard's Scans
       Server Type: FTP
       Server Address: [Your server's address]
       Port Number: 21
       Login Name: xerox
       Login PW: [your password]
       Server Path: Scans/Richard's Scans
    You can also tweak my workaround if you aren't using Lion Server.
    Hope this helps!

  • Lion SMB file sharing with windows "Access Denied"

    In general SMB (windows) file sharing works fine on my home LAN (for Mac and Windows PCs).  However, Adobe Flash CS3 for Windows (Win7x64) yields an "Access Denied" error trying to open any FLA file shared from my Mac Mini home server running Lion.  I have double checked the permissions, and the client windows box is signing in with the correct user/password to have r+w priveledges to the files in question (rw-r--r--/644).
    Copying the files locally resolves the issue (but isn't a good long term solution of course).
    Is Flash is trying to take some sort of file lock that Lion's SMB/CIFS implementation doesn't support?  Any ideas?

    I have this issue as well. and I have it on multiple configurations. My windows machine can't open an fla file on a osx lion share. another person working on the same project (on a different network setup) can't to it either. seems like something broke with lion that was working perfectly fine on snow leopard.

  • Smb file sharing ownership and creation mask

    I'm using smb for file sharing with lion. I've created a file sharing only username and password.
    The file sharing works as I'd expect with one caviat, the files created are read/write permission of
    the file sharing only account. In unix terms the file permissions are set to 600 not 666 or 644.
    I'd like to change the file creation mask to 666 (user r/w, group r/w & world r/w) or even 644.
    my /private/var/db/samba/smb.shares file
    contains these 2 lines for the [Myuser Public Folder] section:
    create mask = 644
    directory mask = 755
    However it doesnt appear as if its honoring these settings.
    Alternately if this cant easily be fixed, how can I get a file sharing user
    account to write files to my public folder as a different system user?

    I have seen many topics created on these discussions with regards to the SMB functionality failing on Time Capsules after 10 mins of operation. Restarting the Time Capsule seems to bring back the SMB functionality but again it stops after 10 mins.
    I am not sure if I have a Time Capsule dual band "I" or "II", but I have the firmware 7.4.2 installed on it.
    I also read elsewhere that downgrading the firmware to 7.3.2 makes the SMB sharing work again. However, on my model this is not possible since I am using the dual-band model which never had a 7.3.2 firmware version.
    So anyone out there have some new tips on this?
    I find it crazy that others have called Apple about this problem but Apple support did not verify it and fix it. Really? I am tempted to call myself and try it out because it clearly is problem with every single Time Capsule model!

  • File sharing between Macs and PCs

    I'm not able to properly network a Mac and a PC laptop in my office. The Mac is running 10.4.9, the PC is running XP Service Pack 2. Here's what I'm doing:
    I right-click on a Windows folder. On the "Sharing" tab I click on "Share this folder on the network."
    I go over to the Mac. I try to browse the network; the PC doesn't show up. I type command-K, type in smb://[my PC name] into the box. A dialog box pops up indicating that it's trying to connect, but nothing happens.
    Similarly, if I turn on Windows File Sharing on the Mac and try to go the other way (access the Mac from the PC), that doesn't work either.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks very much.

    I am having a similar problem getting onto a Windows network with my Mac.
    I select Finder/Go/Connect to server...
    I then enter my server's address, and click on the "connect" button. I get the "connecting to server" dialog box. Then I get the "SMB/CIFS File System Authentication" dialog box. The "Workgroup or Domain" box already is filed in with the proper name, so it appears to me that I have made contact with the server. The "name" box shows up filled in with my .mac name, so I delete it and type in my Windows user name. I then fill in my Windows password, and click on the "OK" button.
    Then the "connecting to server" dialog box reads "could not connect to the server because the name or password is incorrect."
    I am using the same name and password that I use when I get on the netowrk with my Dell. In fact, I will plug the ethernet cable into my Dell and get onto the network. I then log off, switch the cable to my MacBook Pro, and I cannot get on.
    Any thoughts on why the server is sending my MacBook Pro the "wrong name or password" message, but letting my Dell on?

  • SMB/CIFS message when logging in to LAN/WAN

    Hi all,
    My last name changed recently, and our I.T. guy started setting things up on his end to change my e-mail, records, and the like. Now, every time I log on to our Win XP network, I get a prompt from SMB/CIFS File System Authentication to enter my name and password. The name that displays automatically is my 'old' name, and even through I type in my new name and password and click 'Remember this password in my keychain', the same dialog box will come up (with the wrong name) the next time I try to access the network.
    Previously all I had to do is double-click on the alias to a drive or folder on the network, and 'boom', I'm in.
    Under the Apple menu, I am logged in under the correct new name. All areas that I can find in my system to enter in a user name has my new name. The anomaly only happens when I try to access the network.
    Any clues?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can easily verify by yourself that no column AppTime exists in a standard B1 installation (just tested on 2007A SP01 PL6).
    You should have a reference to an external database or extension (addon)...
    What addons are you using?

  • Lion SMB File Sharing with Windows 7 stops working after reboot

    I'm running my macmini with lion 10.7.1.  I have switched on File Sharing and ticked 'Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)' and ticked my user account.  Using the same account name and password on windows and I can access the shares on the macmini fine.
    Soon as I reboot the macmini the sharing stops working and Windows just prompts for a username and password.  If I disable and enable file sharing again on the macmini then windows can access it again just fine, reboot the mac and it stops again, is this a bug in Lion or have I not got it setup correctly?

    Whatever the issue is, it's still happening for me in 10.7.2

  • Smb file sharing

    We have in our company data center two Macs, a Power PC 8GB ram with Leopard 10.5.8 and a Mac Pro Quad Core Nehalem 32GB with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and OSX Server 2.2.1.
    The Power Pc SMB File Sharing, with the limit of 10 concurrent users, it works perfectly.
    Instead, the Mac Pro SMB File Sharing drops randomly SMB sharing with the consequent loss of the changes made by Client to opened files.
    Is there anyone else with the same problem?
    Is there any solution, in addition to turn off the Mac Pro and switch to a Windows server?

    Same problem here with Mountain Lion. Really anxious for a fix!

    Yes. It works good however a few tweeks necessary. In parallels configuration I had to change the 1 CPU setting to 2 and allowed a bit more memory. Before that things where a little slow in the virtual macine. Hopefully you are operating with a quad core.

  • Concerns with File Sharing using SMB

    I'm trying to get the windows on my home network to be able to view certain shared folders on my iMac
    When I enable SMB file sharing the windows PC gets to see most of my iMac and not just the shared folders with the appropriate read/write controls
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Why the mac claim that the user password that i enter in the smb file sharing settings is incorrect although it is correct?

    Maybe the Caps Lock key is lighted?
    Is your Apple ID password the same as your user password?

  • Entire "Macintosh HD" shared through SMB File Sharing

    I have OS X 10.5.6 installed on my Apple MacBook. I recently enabled File Sharing (SMB). On my Windows XP laptop, navigating to \\macbook now shows the entire "Macintosh HD" as a shared folder. I wasn't even asked for login credentials for my Mac's user account.
    File permissions, using the "Get info" function on the Macintosh HD show:
    system: read & write
    admin: read & write
    everyone: read only
    I don't know about anyone else, but this is a glaring security issue.
    I don't want to tinker with messing with file permissions at the root of the drive, as I have a feeling that could cause some major chaos to all the subordinate folders.
    Solutions?

    I don't have a picture sharing site account to use, so I can't post any screen shots. Hopefully, I can describe it well enough.
    Say you have a user account called 'bob' on your Mac. On your Mac, bob is an admin user and therefore has access to your entire Mac. If you log into your Mac as bob, you can see everything.
    Nothing changes if you log into your Mac from a Windows machine as bob. No matter how bob logs into your Mac, directly to the machine, from a windows machine on you network, or from a dumb terminal in the basement of a hangar on Area 51, bob will have the same access to your Mac.
    In the File Sharing options, when you select the account for bob, the entire account is shared. You essentially said, "let 'bob' log into this machine using SMB."
    If you just select the option to share files via SMB, you can set access to specific folders for particular users. You can even make up new users that don't have an account on the Mac, but can access folders that you specifically give them access to.
    So, for what you want, don't select an account to share via SMB, just select "Share files and folders using SMB."
    Now, at the bottom of the file sharing dialog, Add the folders you want to share. Choose the users you want to have access to those folders and set the type of access, Read & Write, Read Only, or Write Only. If you want to create a username and password to access those folders, without having an account on the Mac, Add a person and choose "New Person." That person will be a "Sharing Only" user. You can't log into the Mac as that user, but you can access the specific folders you have set up.

  • SMB/CIFS browsing slow with folders with many files

    My NAS (Buffalo Linkstation HG) SMB/CIFS browsing from OSX is slow when a folder has many files in it, with ball spinning for more than 30 seconds before listing folder contents depending on how many files the folder has.
    But accessing the same Linkstation from Windows XP is fast. Even Windows XP inside OSX (using Parallels) is fast.
    Since the same machine but inside Parallels is fast seems not a network issue to me. Maybe some setting in OSX could help, or some setting in smb.conf inside the Linkstation (I can change it by using Openlink, a non official firmware).
    Also, AFP folder browsing is fast, but not using it because the one included with the Linkstation has filename length limitations to be compatible with OS Classic.
    Anyone had a similar problem accesing a SMB/CIFS share?
    Thanks.

    There was a suggestion out here recently to disable Bonjour's Name Resolution...but connecting to the remote drive by IP address, instead of name.
    Like so:
    Connect by IP address, and it should bypass Bonjour name resolution. Hit command-K, and in the window that pops up type
    afp://<ip-address>
    where <ip-address> is the IP of the host you want to connect to. For example, if the IP address of the Aiport basestation hosting the drive is 10.0.0.1, you would type:
    afp://10.0.0.1
    This was a long fix for a slightly different problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=877397&tstart=0
    Worth a try.
    Aso consider if thisis a large folder full of pictures - mac seems to think it needs to generate thumbnails of all those image files...think of the network and CPU time needed for that.
