Red face Azureus: Cannot use a smb network share as the default download DIR.


I have found out the hard way that I cannot just type the path of the SMB share in the default download folder.

Could the be another way to mount the share like I would map drive in windows.

You can mount samba shares with the mount command. Just have to specify smbfs as the file system type.

For example:

mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //server/share /home/user/foobar

That mounts a samba share named "share" on a server named "server" into path "/home/user/foobar".
