6.1.2.2. Using SMBFS
On Linux, the SMBFS file system along with smb-
mount and smbclient tools can be used to mount remote
samba shares onto a local Linux file system. Most of the
Linux distributions include SMBFS support by default.
1. Create a directory by entering the following com-
mand at the command prompt:
# mkdir /my_directory
where my_directory is the name of the directory. Be
sure to include the full path to the directory (for ex-
ample, /mnt/my_directory).
2. If desired, display a list of all the available shares (and
services) by entering the following command:
# smbclient -L storage_system -U guest
where Hostname is "storage_system" and Username
is "guest"
3. Mount the desired shared folder by entering the fol-
lowing command:
# smbmount //storage_system/share /my_directory
-o username=guest
where Hostname is "storage_system", Username is
"guest" and the sharename is "share" (as shown is the
above listing)
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each shared folder that
you want to access.
5. Unmount the share directory
# smbumount /my_directory
