Description

Hi

I probably find an issue. If i try to connect to my smb shares, i always gets an error "unknown username or bad password". Our usernames has a space in between then name and surname.
I already tried name\040surname, "name surname" and name%20surename. No of them was working. If i add a connection with a "no space" username, it works perfectly.

I'm using V3.1.1 from F-Droid

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SMB connection failure described in issue #403 using the reported Amaze File Manager version and a username containing a space. Trace the SMB connection path to identify how usernames are passed, then verify that a share can be opened with the spaced username without affecting usernames that contain no spaces.
