How do I do this on a Windows 10 machine that cannot access the LinkStation?
First you need to get root access on your linkstation using ACP Commander.
I used this
http://nerdkey.co.uk/guides/enable-ssh-linkstation-stock-firmware/ as it sounded easy enough at that time.
For the next steps, I take it you are not familiar with Unix, so here is a step by step once you have root access.
Login as root using PUTTY
once done, type
cp /etc/init.d/smb.sh /root
This will cpy the file in case you make a mistake.
vi /etc/init.d/smb.sh
this editor is quite unfriendly, so follow the following key strokes ([ESC] is the key esape, not the letters):
[ESC]/nas_config
use the arrow to go at the end of this section:
/usr/local/sbin/nas_configgen -c samba
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "$0 configure fail"
exit 1
fi
type A then enter
copy the following and right click to paste in putty:
/bin/sed -i '3i\\ max protocol = SMB2\\' /etc/samba/smb.conf
then hit the following keys:
[ESC]:wq
to try that it worked:
/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart
You should now be able to access your files on Windows10.
Good luck!
