Many years ago I was dealing with SMB1/CIFS connections at work (still am) and I had some time so I decided to see if I could optimize the connection to our server to make transfers faster and speed up how quickly QuarkXPress/InDesign loaded files on our server.
I found a few commands and I believe I posted them in an Applescript thread here already. Yesterday it occured to me that my MacPro was not loading those commands and having had some recent difficulty with a misbehaving share on the server taking down the entire connection from Finder I revisited this.
The app that I had made under Leopard using these commands was PowerPC, so I had to reopen the app and save out a new app from Script editor. Of course, one of the commands is deprecated or non-existant in Yosemite, so I had to do a Google search to find the equivalent.
I didn't find one, but I did find someone who had made a larger series of commands that seriously improved their connection. It seem to help the Mac Pro, so when I got home I made a new app for my Quad to use. All of the commands I was using on the MP worked under Leopard on the Quad.
It will be interesting to try them on my PowerBook and see what happens, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
I'm going to share them here. Just copy and paste in to Script Editor and compile.
Change the username that is in quotes to your current logged in username and the password that is in quotes to your current password (of the logged in user). Save as an app and place it somewhere, then add it to your login items.
As always, I am not responsible for anything that happens. But if something does happen, just reboot. These commands are not permanent. They have to be done every time you reboot.
I'd be interested to know if they work on Tiger and if they do help you at all, please let me know!
