Network shares - how to list them?

[pskowronek]

I'm on macOS and I'm trying to open Network shares in muC - I'm being asked for credentials, the IP/server is set to last value from clicking at SMB......

So, how this Network shares suppose to work? I was thinking that it will show all available smb servers in my local network...... but I guess it is not. Any way to list such shares w/o specifying their IPs or names?

And also an issue in a similar topic. The network shares must be first clicked and mounted in the OS and only then are available in mucommander. I tried adding these as SMB, etc., but nothing works. The only solution is to mount these manually every day (they disconnect daily; corporate environment) and only then access them via bookmarks.

@meny that's weird, I can connect to SMB shares without mounting them in the OS by specifying their URL, e.g., smb:https://<url>/<share>

It is, but indeed the same link which works via Cmd+K in MacOS Finder, when copy-pasted into the SMB path in muCommander, will not work. I also tried many variations splitting the link across the various fields in muCommanders SMB dialog and entering credentials, but no luck. All paths in my bookmarks show with the red no-entry icon and I must reconnect them via Finder first.

@pskowronek that's funny, I was wondering about this myself this week. I worked on adding ADB (#919) and I saw that in trolCommander they've added a menu that lists the devices, so I thought about adding an OSGi service that returns a menu from the plugin that is added to the drive buttons - and I saw we have those network shares and bonjour there. I was trying to see if I can extract them to be a different OSGi bundles that return such a service and realized that smb:https:// is queried and wondered if it ever returned anything (btw, we had an issue before that smb:https://<URL>/ didn't return the list of shares on the server - that is supposed to be fixed already). so long story short, I don't know if it ever worked but it also didn't work for me. and I ended up extracting the bonjour menu :)

hmm, but shouldn't be a way to simple go to 'network shares' and see all the smb servers out there in LAN?

need to check this functionality in jsch-ng

here, smb connections are working fine, but if I want to connect to a webdav, this will not work. neither in http nor in https. I first have to connect to the webdav via finder on my mac, then I can connect to the webdav in muCommander by choosing it under "volumes". When I try to connect to the webdav directly with muCommander, I get the message "Dieser Ordner existiert nicht oder ist nicht verfügbar" (similar in English: "This target doesn't exist or is unreachable"). The login credentials are correct.

we didn't test webdav for quite a while, it could well be that it's broken
