Hi all,

I try to access files on the SMB share of a Fritzbox router using the “Remote 
Files” in Libreoffice, but unfortunately without success.

From the Linux command line, the following command opens the connection to the 
share:

   smbclient -U shareuser --password ****** -W WORKGROUP -D Storage 
//fritz.nas/my.nas

In Libreoffice, I enter the following data in the “Remote Files” dialogue using 
“Add service”:
* Type: Windows share
* Host: fritz.nas
* Share: my.nas
* user and password: as above; enable Remember password
* Root: Storage

Selecting the “Service” entry, the “Remote Files” dialogue is still greyed out, 
no folders or LO files are displayed, and all I can do is to click “Cancel”.  
No error message or other information is displayed.

My Libreoffice version (installed from Debian Bookworm backports, but I have 
the same issue with the official macOS build):
  Version: 24.2.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
  Build ID: 420(Build:2)
  CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
  Locale: en-US (C); UI: en-US
  Debian package version: 4:24.2.4-1~bpo12+1
  Calc: threaded

How should the Service be configured to access the files on the share?  Any 
help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
