[Solved] Synology SMB : Connection error EOF

Hello,
I’m trying to share a Synology SharedFolder with my freshly received ZimaBoard 2.
They are both on the same LAN, Syno (192.168.213.13); ZimaBoard (192.168.213.112)
I activated on the Synology the SMB protocol, and created a user with RW permission on a folder and authorised SMB application.
When I try to connect ZimaBoard to the smb://192.168.213.13 with the Synology user and password, I always get a “connection error : EOF” message.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Are you feeling Samba is activated? In Zimaos

I found the issue! The Synology was limiting the SMB protocol to v1; and Zima needs at least v2!! Thanks for your help.

Yes it’s activated

Currently running latest Zima, having same problem connecting to my old DroboFS, I think that is using SMBv1 and cannot connect to it.

I see theres a developer switch to turn on and off the smb 1 support and i see it’s changing the samba config files, but is that only changing incoming connections to zima or outcoming as well?

Tried a RW user from Drobo and still fails with this error.

Thanks Joe

Hello. Is there any solution for this error finally? I have the same when trying to connect to NSA325

Hi folk. The same problem when I try to connect my USB HDD attached to my router. It only supports Samba v.1 protocol. I can access it all over my LAN using \\192.168.1.254\sda1 path.

When I enter smb://192.168.1.254 to Zima, I get “connection error: EOF” message.

Looks like Zima’s Samba client doesn’t support v.1 protocol.

Please help. I intent to use USB HDD as detachable backup drive, that is physically located in different building. Thanks in advance.

PS: Here are the results of smbclient -L //192.168.1.254 command:

Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing.

Looks like Samba client sees sda1 share, but I don’t know how to connect it.

You need to enable samba ver 1 protocol in developer settings.

It is enabled

It doesn’t work, bro. Still cannot add my share sda1. Probably there is a method how to add it via terminal commands, but I’m a newbie in Linux.
