DESCRIPTION¶
The
mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server
using SMB/CIFS protocol.
The options are as follows:
- -E
cs1:cs2
- Specifies local (cs1) and server's
(cs2) character sets.
- -I
host
- Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to
host, which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP
address.
- -L
locale
- Use locale for lower/upper case
conversion routines. Set the locale for case conversion. By default,
mount_smbfs tries to use an environment variable
LC_*
to determine it.
- -M
crights:srights
- Assign access rights to the newly created connection.
- -N
- Do not ask for a password. At run time,
mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file
for additional configuration parameters and a password. If no password is
found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.
- -O
cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup
- Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created
connection.
- -R
retrycount
- How many retries should be done before the SMB requester
decides to drop the connection. Default is 4.
- -T
timeout
- Timeout in seconds for each request. Default is 15.
- -U
username
- Username to authenticate with.
- -W
workgroup
- This option specifies the workgroup to be used in the
authentication request.
- -c
case
- Set a case option which affects name
representation. case can be one of the following:
- Value
- Meaning
- l
- All existing file names are converted to lower case.
Newly created file gets a lower case.
- u
- All existing file names are converted to upper case.
Newly created file gets an upper case.
- -f
mode, -d
mode
- Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and
directories. The values must be specified as octal numbers. Default value
for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the
directory mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives read
permission.
Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB
server.
- -u
uid, -g
gid
- User ID and group ID assigned to files. The default are
owner and group IDs from the directory where the volume is mounted.
- //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share
- The mount_smbfs command will use
server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer,
user as the remote user name and
share as the resource name on a remote server.
Optional port1 and port2
arguments can be used to override default values of port numbers used by
communication protocols. For SMB over NetBIOS default value for
port1 are 139, and port2 are
137.
- node
- Path to mount point.
FILES¶
- ~/.nsmbrc
- Keeps static parameters for connections and other
information. See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc
for details.
EXAMPLES¶
The following example illustrates how to connect to SMB server
SAMBA as user
GUEST, and mount shares
PUBLIC and
TMP:
mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public
mount_smbfs -I 192.168.20.3 -E koi8-r:cp866 //guest@samba/tmp /smb/tmp
It is also possible to use
fstab(5) for smbfs mounts (the
example below doesn't prompt for a password):
//guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs
rw,noauto,-N 0 0
