The problem is that now Lion and Mountion Lion no longer have an SMB.CONF file (another web search pointed to the ( ) but it's an XML file now and I'm not clear on what should be done to THAT to fix the problem. Adjust SMB browsing behavior in macOS In macOS High Sierra 10. My solution has been to go onto the Mac system and reset permissions for the entire directory structure then everyone can see it again.Ībout the only thing on this that I can find was for OSX pre Snow Leopard that mentioned editing the SMB.CONF file to fix their particular problem (similar to mine, ). Whenever a Windows computer creates a file on a SMB share on the Mac it no longer has group permissions, only the person who created or updated it can access it. I have tried disabling the SMB Signing, which lead to slight increase in the transfer speed, around 61MB/Sec. Mac users are connected with SMB 3.0 protocol. I use a mixed environment of Windows 7/8 computers with Mac OSX Lion/Mountain Lion. While the transfer speeds on Windows users are around 100MB/Sec, Mac users on the other hand are only getting fraction of it, around 45-50 MB/Sec.
Since the days of macOS Sierra 10.12.x, we have been telling our users to use smb://
In the address bar, enter smb://SERVER-IP/SHARE and click Connect.At the toolbar on the top of the screen, press Go and then “ Connect to Server…“.Enter the login to connect to the SMB share. OSes on other devices that can successfully connect to the share: MacOS Ventura built-in SMB iOS 16.5 built-in SMB ES File Explorer on iOS, Windows 10 etc.My solution has been to go onto the Mac system and reset permissions for the entire directory structure then everyone can see it again. In this menu, enter the server IP address in the following format \\SERVER-IP\SHARE-NAME and select Connect using different credentials. Whenever a Windows computer creates a file on a SMB share on the Mac it no longer has group permissions, only the person who created or updated it can access it.

Now I got to print on OSX Lion printers using CUPS and IPP.
