Description

A very nice tool to easily mount your samba shares in your home folder is SMBNetFSInstall smbnetfs. With this tool you can access your samba shares by nearly all applications simply through a mount point in your home.

How to use SMBnetFS

  1. Install the package through your package manager
    sudo apt-get install smbnetfs
  2. Copy standard configuration
    cp /etc/smbnetfs.conf ~/.smb/smbnetfs.conf
  3. Copy samba configuration
    cp /etc/samba/smb.conf ~/.smb/smb.conf
  4. Make the sambashare directory or any other name for the mount point
    mkdir ~/sambashare
  5. Mount the shares to the mountpoint
    smbnetfs ~/sambashare

Unfortunately there is only little documentation available. See man smbnetfs for options and go through the FAQ file in /usr/share/doc/smbnetfs.
