CIFS/NAS Access problem

[rAC]

I am having a problem trying to access my NAS (a NetGear ReadyNAS v2- lets say its on 192.168.1.11). I have (as root) gone to MCC>Configure Windows(R) shares> Access Windows (SMB) shared drives and directories. I see my NAS (called "central").

Expanding it shows a number of the 'shares' on the system (there are 3 others which aren't shown - two have been configured by family members running Windows and marked as 'private(?)' I have also done this in a windows environment). Of the three visible 'shares' 1 has a blank password, 1 has a password (lets say its user is 'User' and password is 'Passw0rd') and 1 is set for anonymous/public access (that share is called 'Family'). I don't seem to to be able to mount any of the 'shares' that I should be able to (ie I know the password etc) I also have administrator rights over the NAS and cannot mount it as the administrator.

I have created a directory '/mnt/Family'. All attempts to mount the NAS share - with/without username - with/without password fail and MCC doesn't give any further info except that mounting failed. Similarly attempts with the password protected shares fail.

I have also tried Smb4k which detects and sees the NAS and its 'shares' but won't mount any of the visible shares - even when supplied with the username and password. I get an error message in (approx) "mount.cifs returned a error (95)".

Further suggestions for troubleshooting and or solutions would really be appreciated.

Maybe you can solve your issue with a similar approach I described here: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5551

Thanks for the pointer - I've thrown my 2c worth into that thread.
using gFTP (having enabled FTP on the NAS) I get

Code: Select all

220 ProFTPD 1.3.3g Server (NETGEAR ReadyNAS) [::ffff:192.168.1.10]
USER admin
331 Password required for admin
PASS xxxx
530 Login incorrect.
Disconnecting from site 192.168.1.10

Having used the correct password even tried cut and paste from a Browser login that did work. Same result with at least two of the 'users' of the NAS.
