    You mean the SMB protocol from 1980?

    Let me guess, you were using SMBv1 instead of SMBv2 or v3? Which are both enabled by default on Windows 11.

    Geez, almost like older protocols require better security.

    I though you guys hated Windows because it was so insecure?

        Then it seems something was wrong with your Windows.

        Because Windows has always supported SMB. Just not the out-of-date protocols.

          You need to reread my message. I never claimed windows does not support smb out of the box. I am claiming that windows 11 will not out of the box allow connections to a properly configured smb (v3, in my case) server because they disable guest login because “security” even though the guest account configured on the server can’t access anything outside of the configured folder.

          Yes, windows is harder to use than linux, because their tools do not conform to the protocols they claim to support. Among other things that make it harder to use.
