Yes, can't really see how that would count as an update to only support Samba. Samba isn't stable on all systems, while FTP seems to be.
Also, I've seen references to a 360CM version 3.2, but can't find it here.

Found 3.2 elsewhere, but the bug I'm experiencing isn't fixed.
Or, it's probably not really a bug. It's ntlanman.dll that isn't working on 64bit Windows 8.1, I guess.
So,I'm guessing 360CM is not going to work for me, ever, unless communications via FTP is used instead of Samba. Or until someone updates CM to not use ntlanman.dll.
