Network password required, remember forever!

Mon Apr 27, 2020 6:15 pm

Hi there all!

What I do step by step:
Open filemanager
Select: Go - Network
Click the icon of the PC
A new window opens,

Password required.

Fill in the username, domain and password.
Choose option 3: Remember forever.
Then click connect.

But this action is forgotten immediately.
Next time I get the same window:
Password required.

Why is it not stored? No grant permission?
Or is it a bug?
Thanks for reading, I hope for an answer and maybe a solution!

More info. needed! Eg. What type of network (connection to the PC). Which file manager? What O.S. in use on the Pi? Are you logged in to the Pi directly or using a VNC (or similar) method the "other way" (ie. are you working on the PC "talking to the Pi" or vice versa? Personally I always use SSH methods over the network and use SFTP to transfer files between machines usually via FileZilla which is available for both platforms.)
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
