The SMB FST for GS/OS
By Stephen Heumann

The SMB FST allows an Apple IIGS to access file servers using the SMB
protocol. The SMB FST is free and open source, but contributions to support
this project are welcome.

System Requirements:

- An Apple IIGS with System 6.0.1 or later
- Marinetti 3.0b11 or later
- A Marinetti-compatible network interface (such as an Ethernet card)
- If you are using an Uthernet or Uthernet II, please be sure to install the
latest version of their Marinetti link layers

[...]

Compatibility
The SMB FST is compatible with Windows, macOS, Samba, Solaris, and illumos
file servers. Using a modern, currently-supported version of the server
software is strongly recommended. See the Server Configuration section below
for information on how to configure these servers to work with the SMB FST.

The SMB FST may also work with other servers that support the SMB 2 or SMB 3
protocols, but they have not been tested.

General Server Requirements:

In order to work with the SMB FST, a server must meet the following
requirements. The default configurations of Windows, macOS, Samba, Solaris,
and illumos servers meet most of these requirements (except as mentioned
above), but if you have customized your server configuration, you should
check that it follows them.

The SMB FST supports SMB protocol versions 2.0.2 through 3.0.2. The server
must support at least one of these versions.

The server must support NTLMv2 authentication.

The server must not require encryption of SMB messages.

The server may require message signing, but this substantially reduces
performance, so you may wish to disable it.

The SMB FST represents file types and resource forks on the server using
alternate data streams (ADSs), in a manner compatible with macOS. In order
to fully support these features, the server must support ADSs. The SMB FST
can connect to servers without this support, but some operations will not
work on them.

The SMB FST can use an Apple-specific protocol extension to improve the
speed of listing directory contents, so this should be enabled if it is
available on the server.

The SMB control panel detects servers on the local network using multicast
DNS Service Discovery (mDNS-SD), so servers must support this in order to be
detected. You can still connect to servers that are not detected by manually
entering their address.
