Support for Samba (SMB) protocol

[cyberduck]

Is there a possibility to add ability to access SMB (Samba) servers to CyberDuck?

The Finder implementation is spotty.

Samba support is in Explorer and Finder.

+1. The Finder implementation does not support non-standard SMB port.

Add an implementation using smbj - SMB2/SMB3 client library for Java should be quit straight forward.

This would be very useful to me as well.

Windows' explorer copy mechanism works very well. But implementing this as a file service would enable offline files in mountain duck.

My use case is for offline files in Mountain Duck on Mac OS. On Windows, it is already possible to use the built-in Sync Center functionality for offline files, which works quite well. But there has never been a similar option on the Mac to access offline files for an SMB share (Windows file server). I know several people, myself included, who would benefit from this feature.

I'd definitely appreciate SMB support, and would be willing to help implement it if necessary. My experience with what Windows provides in Explorer has been pretty poor; it seems to handle credentials weirdly and will often fail to connect to my Synology NAS after a restart.

I'd really like the SMB support as well, it is a missing feature which would turn this app into a complete powerful suite.
I had contacted the Company support some weeks ago and they replied me that this feature should be available in the second half of this year. It would be awesome!
Finger crossed.

Bye.

After switching from Windows 10 to MacOS, one of the most useful features I really miss is the Offline Files along with Sync Center.
Hope we are going to get this feature really soon (SMB shared folders).

Just to add to the enthusiasm for SMB, I too would like to use MD to automagically synchronise files between an SMB share, which is available via a VPN, and local storage on a Mac that can be accessed when offline. Ideally, synchronisation should be auomatic when the VPN is connected, making the share available, and the "fail-over" to locally cached files when the VPN is disconnected should be transparent to the user.

This will be supported using Mountain Duck.
