Networking :: Samba Client ?



I noticed that in 5.2 samba client was introduced, I have 5.3 but cannot find the tools.

smbmount is not there nor is smbmnt.

normally i would smbmount 192.1.2.3/share /home/damnsmall/mountpoint how should I do it with DSL

Oh yes BTW - HDD Installed

you must to install the smbfs package to get smbmount.

# apt-get install smbfs

Thanks for that, Were the SMB tools removed from 5.3 as having them on the rescue cd would be cool too, Then when I save data from corrupted windows boxes, I would have an option other than my pen drive.

of course I can always apt-get them into memory I guess.

But it works now anyway. Thanks

The smb tools were not removed. The tools present are smbtree and smbclient. Use smbtree to display which computer names are available Then to connect use:
smbclient //computername/sharename -U username
At the smb: prompt type help. The usual dir, get, put, mget, mput, and exit commands work like an ftp program.

Yep. found them.

Thanks for that.

I guess this make it a learning curve.

Man what a Distro. Very Awesome !!!!
