Adds support for user-configurable read and write buffer sizes while enforcing protocol-negotiated maximums. When not specified, operations default to using the maximum sizes negotiated during the SMB session setup.
Tests revealed that by not using a single connection throttling issues appeared when connecting to Windows shares (possibly due to multiple authentications in a short period of time)
The 'no-reuse-connection' option controls whether SMB/CIFS connections are reused:
When enabled, creates a new connection and authentication for each file operation
When not specified, defaults to reusing the same connection across operations
* Primary functionality implemented for CIFS
This will add CIFS support to Duplicati.
One of the advantages is that the resource does not need to be mounted as the backend connects and authenticates directly to the resource via TCP/or Netbios over TCP.
The authentication supported is domain/username/password. At present integrated Windows authentication is not supported.
This implementation relies on SMBLibrary library (https://github.com/TalAloni/SMBLibrary).
* Fixes to XML documentation
* Implementing single CIFS connection + Fix on PutAsync
Single CIFS connection to avoid re-authentication on every operation.
Fix to PutAsync which only because apparent after file sizes were larger than _smb2Client.MaxWriteSize
* Adding CI tests for CIFS
The CI test for CIFS is self contained, requiring no environment variables. Also updated README.
