SMB Client for Mac - Apple Community
June 22, 2014 - Mac OS X has a built in CIFS/SMB client. You can use Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server... -> smb://workgroup;username:password@server.address/sharename · Windows should be able to access volumes that you have enabled via System Preferences -> Sharing -> File Sharing.

r/MacOS on Reddit: state of MacOS SMB
December 28, 2023 -
I'll put this in a way Steve Jobs would have reacted to.
It's 2023, and I can't stream 90s Home Videos from a NAS because SMB is too slow on MacOS.
I'll put it another way:
if I connect to a SMB share through Windows 11 on PARALLELS on Apple Silicon (!), it connects light-speed faster and more reliably than doing it in the native MacOS host.
Honestly this is unacceptable, and I don't understand how users are standing for it. There should be NO aspect of the OS that operates at the relative speed of a dialup modem, in this day and age. Apple PLEASE fix this, it's atrocious.

Hi, as workaround, executing this couple of lines of code in your terminal app, will help a lot: sudo -s; rm /private/etc/nsmb.conf sudo echo "[default]\nsigning_required=no\nstreams=yes\nnotify_off=yes\nport445=no_netbios\nunix extensions = no\nveto files=/._*/.DS_Store/\nprotocol_vers_map=6" >> /etc/nsmb.conf; defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE; exit sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder However, I have to run it after almost every OS update. SMB is somehow getting only worse for long time on MacOS.

r/MacOS on Reddit: Installing SMB 4.19.4 on Mac OS
January 23, 2024 -
I am using the latest version of Homebrew on Mac OS Sonoma 14.0.
I did:brew install samba
Then:
brew list --versions samba
Gives me back smb 4.19.4
However, when I do:
smbutil statshares -a
It tells me that I still have version 3.1.1. It seems that there is no effect in side of finder either. The latest version of SMB lets you do things like Server Side Copy and more. How can I get my Homebrew install of SMB to work system-wide?

Recreate Share works for me Create a new folder and move the content to that new folder. Then delete the old share and share the new folder. Check if it spells out success for you or not.

Fix horrendously bad macOS (12.3.1 tested) SMB (Samba) performance on Unraid · GitHub
After a reboot, run $ smbutil statshares -a in a terminal window in macOS whilst connected to your SMB shares. The commands output should NOT contain SIGNING_ON TRUE (Source #3). On your Unraid box, login to the web GUI and stop your array. Head to: Settings > SMB > SMB Extras > Samba Extra Configuration. Paste the following into the text field (Source #4), making sure to edit "MY_SHARE" to be the name of your share and cloning that block for any more shares that you may have, in this case also renaming or removing "MY_OTHER_SHARE" to meet your needs.

I had the same problem, solved it by launching Activity Monitor and stopping netbiosd process, it gets restarted and then the connections started working immediately. It's possible that I also stopped NetAuthSysAgent process as well, so if it doesn't work for you with the netbiosd process only, try stopping NetAuthSysAgent as well.

As stated by @yssup - Using the mac "Activity Monitor" tool to stop "NetAuthSysAgent" solved the problem for me.
Note that stopping "netbiosd" did not solve the problem.
Ideally one would do this by clicking on a shortcut to a shell script which could stop "NetAuthSysAgent" more quickly and efficiently. However, I cannot figure out the correct shell command to stop "NetAuthSysAgent" programmatically. Perhaps someone else can answer that here.
