I can reproduce the problem on a fresh new installed Ubuntu desktop 20.04 :
1) install package samba-common which is currently version 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1 2) add "client min protocol = NT1" to /etc/samba/smb.conf in [global] section Note : required to access my NAS which only support SMB v1. It is included in my ISP internet box so I can not upgrade it. 3) launch "Files" Note : Files version is currently 3.36.1.1-stable. 4.1) browse "Other Locations", Windows Network, WORKGROUP, FREEBOX_SERVER (which is my NAS) 4.2) connect as "Anonymous" 4.3) browse my NAS folder, all files are displayed as Folder, like on the attached screenshot "files_shown_as_folder.png". 4.4) I can not use any file on my NAS. When clicking on an item, a message box is displayed « This location could not be displayed. "France 3 Pays de Loire…" could not be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted » as shown on the screenshot "can_not_open_file.png". This was working correctly on Ubuntu 19.10. It looks like the upgrade to v4.11 of samba cause some problems with file browser accessing SMB v1 share. I can reproduce the problem on LUbuntu 20.04 with either PCManFM-Qt and Dolhpin file browser. With Ubuntu 20.04 "smbclient", I can correctly access the same share through SMB v1 and files are correctly displayed as files and usable, cf attachment "smbclient-works.txt" ** Attachment added: "files_shown_as_folder.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1872476/+attachment/5360224/+files/files_shown_as_folder.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872476 Title: Shared files are shown as folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1872476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
