There goes our free sharing protocol.

Ahh that may explain why I suddenly had to reinstall/reactivate it on my win 10.
Mapping network drives suddenly did not work anymore.

SMB 2.0 was introduced in like 2006?
If you still have a device needing 1.0 it's honestly time to upgrade.

I have Win7 Nas.. and sometimes is nice to share something to Dos, Win9x, WinXP etc.. There is nothing like graphical FTP client for Dos.. Win9x there is at least WinSCP and you can install on Windows machine so SSH server- but its not inbuild.

What's the point of using DOS if you're going to use graphical tools?
Also, if you really care that much, I'm sure you can install Samba on Windows 11.

Tell that to my boss. We have a 1.0 printer that still works. Currently printers have a 80% markup in Poland due to global shortages.

Devices being sold right now are still using the v1 protocol for their file server services(SAMBA), the v2 protocol supporting versions is larger and doesn't fit into the limited memory on them.
in actuality, the exploits require that you are exposing your SMB services to WAN, enforcing higher versions makes sense for WFH/Corporate, but Home users are more than likely quite safe so long as they keep these services LAN only.

Dos is not about Unix server terminal hell experience.. Dos started to be nice with introduction of VGA graphics cards, which make PC platform best superior to Amiga, which ruled from 1985 to 1990 and it was even better with SVGA later. People used here graphical tools like Norton Commander, Edit.com.. hires games, Sea for viewing pictures.
