Username and password must be provided for authentication using NTLM. The optional domain name defaults to WORKGROUP
and can be customized as part of the username in the format REALM\username
in the Username input field when adding a bookmark. Depending on the server setup this can be
COMPUTERNAME\username
NETBIOSDOMAINNAME\username
To connect to a specific share, you can configure a Path in the bookmark. When omitted an attempt is made to list all available shares from the server. On failure retrieving share names from the server, a prompt is displayed to enter the share name when connecting.
