TkSmb(1)

Usage

TkSmb [-display display] [-geometry geometry]

Overview

TkSmb is a graphical interface to smbclient and as such it allows you browse a Windows (or Samba) network to access different workgroups, hosts, and shares on it, mount this shares.

Options

-display: which DISPLAY to use

-geometry: dimensions of TkSmb window

Configuration

TkSmb uses two configuration files - a global one /etc/tksmbrc and a per-user one ~/.tksmbrc.

The per-user configuration file overrides any setting in the global file. A sample per-user file is in /usr/share/doc/tksmb/examples/tksmbrc. The various settings are:

`USERNAME`	Your username on the SMB network
`C_GROUP`	The name of your workgroup/domain.
`C_HOST`	The name of your domain server.
`netbiosname`	Your machine's SMB name.
`BROADCAST`	Your IP broadcast address - `ifconfig` should tell you.
`DOWNLOAD`	Where to download files to.
`MountRoot`	The directory to mount remote machines on using `smbmount.`
`mountparams`	Any options to be passed to `smbmount.`
`timeout`	How long to wait for network operations (default is 30 seconds).
`font`	Which font to use (default is "fixed").
`password`	Default password
`H_PASS_HOST password`	Password for host HOST.
`SH_PASS_HOST_SHARE password`	Password for share SHARE on host HOST.

Caveats

Storing plaintext passwords in ~/.tksmbrc is a really bad idea. At the very least, make the file non-readable by anyone but yourself (chmod 0600 ~/.tksmbrc).

Releases

Unchanged in 5 releases since Debian 2.2 (Potato).
