Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
It seems Nautilus' SMB does not know how to handle litteral IPv6 address
like smb://::1/sharing/ . This results in:
Could not find "smb:///sharing".
Please check the spelling and try again.
The variant smb://[::1]/sharing/ results in:
Could not display "smb://[::1]/sharing/".
Expected behaviour: just a succesful connection to the share /sharing/
on the localhost via IPv6, by using ::1 or [::1].
This bug is relevant because SMB itself over IPv6 works great and is a solution
for SMB access without IPv4 NAT problems, and/but a FQDN is not always
available.
NB: ::1 is just an example. Addresses like 2001:... don't work either.
Important remarks:
Nautilus' SMB does *correctly* handle:
- litteral IPv4 address like 127.0.0.1
- name resolving to IPv4 address
- name resolving to IPv6 address (yes!)
- smb://ip6-localhost/sharing/ (yes!)
- Bonjour/zereconf names like smb://quirinius.local./sharing/
smbclient does *correctly* handle litteral IPv6 addresses:
san...@quirinius:~$ smbclient -N -L ::1
