Dear Mark

I would love to help, testing the PR to check that it is working. My only
problem is I'm not able to build the nar files my self. So if someone can
build the file, I have no problems testing the file.

About SMB:
I don't like to mount networks drives locally to my NiFi servers which is
running Linux. For accessing linux servers I am using SFTP, the big issue
are with Windows servers and those who administrate them. They like so use
Windows shares, and use AD access rights. I have tried to setup a NFS share
in Windows server 2019, but it was not easy to get it to work and
diffidently not then we had to make changes. So i order to get access to
Windows servers, I have configured MS IIS with a FTP Site.
To be able to use smb shares, I hope it would be much easier.

kind regards
Jens M. Kofoed
