rclone feature request: read/write from/to samba (smb) drives

If rclone could support reading and writing from/to samba (smb) shares that would simplify my workflow greatly. In other words, if rclone could do what smbclient does.

If someone writes a go library to interface with smb then we'll do it, but writing a smb library is too big a project for us I think!

Thanks. Looks like there are a couple of packages out there, not sure if they are good enough: https://github.com/stacktitan/smb https://golanglibs.com/top?q=smb

Stacktitans implementation is very minimal and only includes the authentication parts. A library like https://github.com/videolabs/libdsm should most likely be ported to go before a backend could be implemented.

This looks like it might be complete enough: https://github.com/hirochachacha/go-smb2

Marking as important based on 15 :+1: and availability of Go implementations.
