SMB mount from desktop in SUSE 10

nvrenuf · 11-25-2005, 09:35 PM

I have SUSE 10 and can browse to my shares on a Windows 2003 server. What I would like to do is mount the shares so I can see them as a folder in my home directory. I am trying to see how to do this from the desktop. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about the repost. I put this in the wrong forum initially.

There are a couple of ways t do this. If you want to mount it the "old fashion" way from the command line, you can type "smbmount //<server>/<share> <mountpoint>". "smbtree" will list all the samba servers & shares in the network.

If you want an easier way without remembering what all the extra parameters may be, you can use smb4k to create a mount point (~/smb4k/<server>/<mountpoint>) using a graphical interface. It's a little slower, but easier for the new Linux user.

When I attempt from the console using:

mount -t smbfs //server/lee$ /home/lee/server -o username=lee,password=secret

I receive:

cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
8287: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

I can connect and access files from Konqueror without any problems.
