samba - Apr 2022 - Assistance request with remote TCP connection

Hi Jeremy, 

The Mobile DVR (Digital Video Recorder) records video footage (similar to a
Dashcam).

This particular Mobile DVR also has the provision to push video files onto a
server in the event an incident (crash or incident button pressed), which in
turn we need to be able to access the file list and replay on the HTML5 player.

The Mobile DVR requires a TCP connection in order for the Push function to work.


If you want to have a look at the protocol, please advise, and ill send it
straight away.







Thank you and kind regards,

Michael,

If you need a custom protocol over TCP implementd, I'm afraid
you're on the wrong email list :-).

Samba implements SMB1/2/3 - the Microsoft file, print and
authentication serving protocols, not a custom protocol.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
