fine in earlier Ventura versions. NFS has also worked well

Hello everyone, today you were my salvation!
Like you, I had trouble connecting my Mac Mini M1 (Sequoia 15.5) to a 2017 iMac with Ventura 13.7.6.
This morning I downloaded CMN and tried a few configurations and in the end I succeeded.
I assume that until now no application had allowed me to do this without first activating the ssh/sftp sharing on iMac, therefore using another type of protocol.
I leave below some screenshots of the configuration used by me on CMN and thank you again for the valuable advice that I read here on the forum.

(I apologize for my English... I’m Italian 😅)

Hi @stephenharrington hopefully you can expand the image below and read it. I've entered example details where the share or "Path:" is the user folder on the Ventura machine. You can use either a computer name or IP address in the "Server Address:" field. "Username:" and "Password:" are for the Ventura share account. You can mount the share to a custom mount point using the Advanced Options tab. Name your connection in the Menu Title field and enable it via the checkbox. Try the Test Mount button to check your entries. Trust this helps.

CMN works fine because it uses standard terminal commands. As we know there is a problem at the Ventura 13.7.5 end when connecting the usual way with Finder on another Mac. Sequoia works well with Finder on Ventura when connecting to a Sequoia share, but not the reverse.

Working! Thanks for sending your syntax through, it helped me to construct the correct mount_smbfs command in CMN.

Hi @watagan, any chance you could put up some screenshots/examples of your final CMN config for those of us having a little trouble following where this ended up?

Cheers Mate!

A couple of posts above I should have said "/share_name" rather than "/username".
