I want to use my Vapor skills to build a website to create XML files to drop into an SMB share in our corporate network. Would that be possible with Vapor?

I’ve already built a macOS version of our internal company app to create users to put an XML file into an SMB shared location, but Windows users can’t use my macOS app. So I think Vapor might help us with this.

If you want Vapor to talk to SMB you’d probably need to write a SMB protocol implementation for NIO/Vapor. I haven’t seen anything that does this yet
