[libreoffice-users] Q: configure “Remote Files” to access a SMB share on a Fritzbox

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.
