I am curious how you were able to handle login security when accessing SMB shares… When I try it seems to not ask for username but rather assumes it is the same as antiX username.
In my case usernames on both sides was the same. But I think this link helps you: https://askubuntu.com/questions/203585/how-do-i-connect-to-an-smb-share-requiring-a-user-name-and-password

I seem to recall that it will prompt you for a username and password if the server does not support a guest account. Otherwise the guest account is used. If the prompts do not appear it may be possible to supply the username (and password) via the url bar as well. As I understand it the url bar passes the string behind the specified protocol to the backend program. So for smb://SERVER_ADDRESS/share_name would pass SERVER_ADDRESS/share_name to smbclient. So for username and password, IIRC, would be smb://username:password@SERVER_ADDRESSS/share_name. Or just a username, smb://username@SERVER_ADDRESS/share_name and maybe you will get a password prompt.

Thank you!
Great info. Looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for SpaceFM…

I am able to access all my shares in SpaceFM,
Yes. As I mentioned in one of my posts above currently I do access SMB shares through SpaceFM as well but only after running Connectshares. The only deficiency is that these file managers do not have the capability of network shares detection themselves as e.g. Thunar does.
If I recall correctly I had to first setup my SMB shares in the text config files for the SMB client. That is a one time thing and then after that the shares just work in the file managers. Yes, it is not as “modern” as we are used to, especially with MX/XFCE, etc. But it works fine. Text config files usually solve most problems.
