SMB File Sharing not working in Ventura

Whatever. The point is, the Guest User can be used to access shares while the other users attempting to authenticate can not.

Access to shares is dependent on the Login type and what access that type of login has.

If a user account exists on the server and is used to login to the server, they should have the same access that they would if they log into the Mac directly.

If it is a sharing only user, then they have the access as set in file sharing.

If you enable guest remote login, that is a sharing only user and should have the access granted to "everyone" in the File Sharing setup.

Ports 137 and 139 were only used with SMBv1, allowing the ancient NetBIOS protocol to be used over TCP/IP. Port 445 replaced 137 and 139 over 20 years ago for SMBv1, and continues to be used current SMB variations. macOS and Windows have disabled SMBv1 by default for some time now, so you shouldn't ever see activity on the old ports these days.

Thank you! Turning file sharing off, rebooting, then turning file sharing back on worked!

Yes, see my post on Feb 1, 2023 1:43 PM in response to tresinnoctem

Apparently it worked for someone else: Since upgrading to OS Ventura, our comput… - Apple Community

I do not see any mention in the beta notes:

macOS Ventura 13.3 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

Apple just released macOS Ventura 13.3 Beta 4. I don't see anything in the release notes that addresses the SMB issue- macOS Ventura 13.3 Beta 4 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

I take the Full Disk Access into consideration, so before I do the file sharing, I turn them on. but, the issue still shows in the end.

I ws able to connect and authenticate using the host name smb://Saylor-iMac.local and then the shared directory but no content. Close but no cigar...

File sharing & firewall off, reboot Mac & router, turn on fs, no Joy. Getting authentication errors for all accounts.

Same issue here.

I have no idea what you are trying to show. Please explain the problem you are having with SMB file sharing.

As sonicsuperstar noted, sometimes you need to toggle file sharing off then on again. A restart may help, also.
