Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network. Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is
There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".
You do not have permission to access this server.
Anyone else having this problem?
OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Hi Pat, yeah this is a bit of a bugger. Your work looks quite sound. I suggest we look at the usual diagnostic messages. You can access these using the /applications/utilities/Console.app. The particular one that will be of interest is your good friend /var/log/system.log....
Investigation:
I suggest you review at the logs above after some interactions with your synology appliance (step 4 below) . There will be some diagnostic information that will be vary helpful
You can perform some deliberate use of the Finder with your MAc's file system and those on the synology appliance to generate (aggrevate) errors.
Instructions
prepare the synology appliance via ethernet etc.. make sure it looks like it's on your lan (wifi or cable). It's probably ready to go anyway
in the Console list (left hand side), select system.log and make sure its scrolled to the end .. the current time
DO NOT ATTEMPT to mount is them specifically using a MOUNT or "connect to server" [+k] - this defeats the purpose of the diagnostics
hopefully you will see the usual -36 error
PLEASE don't post 10000's of unrelated lines.. I know you won't! 😉
Suspicion / Speculation
It MIGHT be the case tha you have some invalid or incorrect enties in eth SYSTEM KEYCHAIN. THese are very easy to recosile and correct.
You may see essages like:
Anyway, this is worth pursuing. OSX and your mac are just a set of tools. The tools should work... and they usually do.
Post you results for others to see.

Warwick, you have given me hope again. Thanks. Will try the steps.
Reinfire,
Your CFIS:// solution worked, thanks so much!!!
My 2 cents on this: I wouldn't hold my breath on Apple fixing this SMB issue. As much as I enjoy using my MBP, osberving Apple over the last few years, it's very clear it's their way or the highway, no matter how many people complain, cry foul, make suggestions for improvements, et cetera.
Glad to see there are people out there willing to find and share workarounds to make a product usable, as it should be.
Hi Artur, using a SPECIFIC connection will always force that connection to SMB1... it doesn't help in a general sense with the FINDER UI.
A well known workaround in any case.

Hi Warwick, thanks.
1) When NAS appeared under Shared, it was connected automatically as GUEST. I then dragged internal files from Mac to a Public folder in my NAS. Initially, I dragged and dropped out of the public folder and message came out saying I need to click authenticate (but i didn't know where to click).
2) No error came out in the Finder.
3) Console messages... Any hope? 🙂

Hi Pat, thanks for posting some dialogues. There's some insight here in these two messages.

However before we get too excited 😉, I'm curious to the method you used. I understand from you post that you:
Would you be able to authenticate into your Synology as you (patrick) or what ever the synology appliance wants? Do this instead of GUEST.The reason is that I'd like to see the DNS failure is not simply caused by a default connection method. Instead let's connect purposely.
Instructions:
(for other readers, make sure (+,) Finder Preferences / Sidebar / Sharing/ Connected Servers is TICKED )
we can see the keychain entry for this in your local LOGIN as a kind "network password"...
it should generate some more diagnostics.
Suspicions and Speculation:
those messages dnssd_clientstub DNSServiceRefDeallocate I mentioned above are to do with our old mate Bonjour. So... before we get the surgeons knife out, would you post those diags from step 5... here.
Post your results for others to see.

Hi Warwick, I'm sorry to trouble you.
From screen capture below, my NAS will automatically connect to a GUEST user profile I have created. This profile has access to a Public folder. I can also connect as Admin. However, I cannot get into the NAS settings via IP address or Synology Assistant (below error message will show). The most frustrating part was that I did managed to get into the settings after following your steps (before I wrote to you).
When I drag and drop a file into PUBLIC, there will be no error. However, if I drag and drop file into the space out of Public in this Guest Profile, I will see the below error.
The NAS is my time machine backup. The time machine did not work initially and then it did. Now, I am validating if it will work again.
Many thanks again,
Patrick
Hi Patrick.. hmm.. looks troublesome. I believe you still have an issue with the Bonjour agent that is related to your local keychain.
Would you issue this command in the terminal. It will keep going so sop it after 10 seconds, gather the output and post it back. Make sure to delete/remove/redact anything that is confidential.
this merely lists any of the bonjour devices on your local network.
The command is: .. copy and paste it into Terminal.app
dns-sd -B _afpovertcp._tcp
Please gather (copy and paste) the output from the terminal and post it back in a subsequent post when you can.
Post your results for others to see.

hi Warwick, thanks again. I sincerely appreciate this but after this post, i will not want to trouble you further. I hope 10.9.4 will help. After the command, only this part came up (waited 15 mins for more and nothing came out). What do i look out for that is "confidential" to delete in future posts? Thanks again, Patrick.

Hi Patrick, thanks for the reply. The bonjour device listing looks fine and it shows the two points for you iMAC.. Are there any other devices that you think should be there?. I don't see the synology appliance there. I DONT own one. I did imagine that the device like most printers and others support Bonjour. Just wondered if there's a simple way to enable it on Synology appliance?

by confidential, I meant anything that you didn't want to make viewable in the post. 😝
Further:
What I was anticipating was a list of bonjour devices that might have included your synology device. This would be the way to connect rather than a specific connection. This should appear regardless of the fle system protocol being orchestrated at the device (synology, printer etc)
Would you try this is you can:
From your previous posts, I think there MAY be some issue with your System keychain or entries in your local key chain. So .. tty this:

Hi Warwick, thanks for your email.
Before I went into your proposed 9 steps in your last post, I went into your earlier command (dns-sd - B....) and same results came out. No synology. To answer your last question in point 9, my synology device is showing up in the shared list all these while. My challenge is that i cannot detect this NAS through the Synology Assistant or the web to look into the settings of the NAS. In your keychain access steps, i don't see the synology disk station.
Will Yosemite change this issue?
Many thanks again,
Patrick
Hi Pgohmac, Same issue here and now buying new macs for my organization won't let me downgrade to 10.8.5. Sad. And to answer your last question, Yosemite Beta2 is still broken for SMB:// or CIFS://
Very poor re-write of SMB by Apple coders, its sad too see that they don't support the community by making things work with other platforms.
Now my job is to find a way to downgrade our Brand new MacBook Pro's to 10.8.5.
Thanks Apple for ruining something that was working.
Good luck ladies and gentlemen.

Reinfires solution works both ways. Now i again have a rocksolid filesharing system between my mac and pc. I can share both ways and with a higher speed now, than before with SMB2
Thx this saved my day
For those of you out there logging on using a domain that still have this problem after trying the SMB1 fix, I was able to fix this by making my account "mobile" in Users and Groups under System Preferences. It seems there's some sort of authentication issue that happens when you just log straight in to a computer on a domain.
So Reinfires solution does work. However I am still having a huge issue with uploading to network drives. Downloading from them is fine, however a client of mine is trying to upload to the drive (6GB file) and it is saying it will takes days before it uploads, which it eventually crashes instead of transferring.
Anyone have any idea of a workaround for the upload?
Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade
