Unable to use samba shares

[florentheman]

Whenever trying to write the torrent destination to a samba //servername/folder I get an I/O error on Windows.

Have you tried to mount the remote smb share as a local Windows drive and ask qBittorrent to save to that local drive instead? If mounted, qBittorrent should have no problem writing on it.

I'm not very familiar with Windows but you may find the following link useful:

That is a working workaround, confirmed and thanks. Other clients (utorrent for example) however, are able to write to direct samba adresses. I think it is part of the standard windows explorer API as I can browse to it by explorer. Maybe a simple syntax error to fix.

Love your program!

I'm sorry, but closing this issue is a little premature IMO. This is something which really should be supported, considering more and more people are purchasing a NAS device for multimedia playback. I'm sure plenty of folks would appreciate it :)

I usually save the download locally, then use the 'move after download' functionality to move the download to my NAS, so any device in my house can access the file.

I am in process of trying to switch away from uTorrent, but this is a pretty big showstopper, and mapping another drive just for this is not an option for me right now :(
