Hi there. Thank you for your amazing software.

I was trying to use your FIM software on my Windows 10 computer to scan a local network share (my NAS). But somehow I can't get it to work.
The share is accessible in Windows via file explorer, net use and drive mappings.

I read your documentation and didn't find anything on this topic. So my first question would be;

  • Does your software supports scanning/monitoring files on a network share?

I tried many configurations, but everytime I got the following errors in the log file:

  • Could not monitor given path '\192.167.2.6\data\movies\ , description: Input watch path is neither a file nor a directory.
  • 2025-10-05T17:46:07.7839 [ERROR] thread 'FIM_HashScanner' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: Error { depth: 0, inner: Io { path: Some(\192.167.2.6\data\movies\ "), err: Os { code: 1326, kind: Uncategorized, message: "The user name or password is incorrect." } } }': src\hashscanner.rs:44

In the config file I tried the following (everytime restarting the FIMservice after I made the changes):

  • Using an UNC path (with and without quotes/escaping slashes): - path: \\192.167.2.6\data\movies\
  • Using a driveletter mapping: - path: Z:\data\movies\
  • Using Windows symlink from a local folder to the NAS: -path: D:\NasLink\
  • Tried using parameters: 'User', 'Username', 'pass', 'password',
  • Tried using a username with "domainname\user"
  • Tried using quotes around my password since it holds special characters, but also without.

If network drives are supported, what would the config file look like in terms of the path, username and password? I tried many combinations of the above. I could attach the full log file and config file if needed.

I hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Timon
