Enter the following two commands: sudo bash -c 'echo "[default]" >> /etc/nsmb.conf' and sudo bash -c 'echo "signing_required=no" >> /etc/nsmb.conf'If
you are To turn off this feature after closing the SMB signature, follow these steps:
Turn on the Mac's [Terminal] service. 
Enter the following command: sudo rm /etc/nsmb.conf
