smbsh1

Usage

Overview

This program is part of the Samba suite.

smbsh allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands such as ls, egrep, and rcp. You must use a shell that is dynmanically linked in order for smbsh to work correctly.

To use the smbsh command, execute smbsh from the prompt and enter the username and password that authenticate you to the machine running the Windows NT operating system.

system% smbsh Username: user Password:

Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will access the /smb directory using the smb protocol. For example, the command

ls /smb

will show all the machines in your workgroup. The command

ls /smb/<machine-name>

will show the share names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the cd command to change directories, vi to edit files, and rcp to copy files.
