How to connect to Samba SMB2/SMB3 with domain authentication from Ubuntu 16.04 using GUI?

I can’t connect to samba after blocking SMB1 protocol. Early, I just click in Nautilus to “Connect to Server” and inputted smb://mySambaHost/. Now, I can get connected with this way. Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out

I tried installing smbclient, but I can only connect to server whith no-friendly command (for me): /usr/bin/smbclient \\my_server\shared_folder -U WINDOWS_DOMAIN/WINDOWS_DOMAIN_USERNAME -W WINDOWS_WORKGROUP -mSMB3 and every time input password. That is, I infer that the server and login/password are working

I tried mounted samba share_folder, but could not do it (I don’t now how). sudo mount -t cifs -o username=WINDOWS_DOMAIN/WINDOWS_DOMAIN_USERNAME,password=WINDOWS_DOMAIN_PASSWORD,rw //myServer/ /media/windowsshare /media/windowsshare is exist

Can some help me to easely get acces to samba share folders using SMB2/SMB3 protocol?

Thanks!

Answer

Try adding the version (vers=3.0):

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=WINDOWS_DOMAIN/WINDOWS_DOMAIN_USERNAME,password=WINDOWS_DOMAIN_PASSWORD,rw,vers=3.0 //myServer/ /media/windowsshare /media/windowsshare

You could also try with 2.0 & 2.1
