Accessing Files on Network

[davec51]

I'm networked with a Windows XP computer, on which I keep all my documents, pics, and so forth. I'm trying to access those files from my TinyCore 5.2 machine. I have Samba, cups, and Nautilus installed. I can't seem to connect; TinyCore doesn't seem to recognize the "smb" prefix. Help will be appreciated.

I made myself a little script for the mount command. I can post it if you like. I'll just post it.

Much space for improvements I guess but it works for me.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -d /tmp/tcloop/cifs-utils ]; then
if [ ! "${USER}" == "root" ]; then
tce-load -i cifs-utils.tcz
else
su "$(cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser)" -c "/usr/bin/tce-load -i cifs-utils.tcz"
fi
fi

sudo echo -e '\033[00;33m '

echo -ne " \033[0;37mHost\033[1;30m (IP (recommended) / NetBIOS name):\033[00;33m "
read SHARE_HOST
if [ -z ${SHARE_HOST} ]
then
SHARE_HOST=192.168.0.1
fi

echo -ne " \033[1;34mShared folder\033[1;30m (on //${SHARE_HOST}):\033[00;33m "
read SHARE_DIR
if [ -z ${SHARE_DIR} ]
then
SHARE_DIR=data
fi

echo -ne " \033[0;32mAccess \"\033[0;34m//${SHARE_HOST}\033[1;34m/${SHARE_DIR}\033[0;32m\" as user\033[1;30m:\033[00;33m "
read SHARE_USER
if [ -z ${SHARE_USER} ]
then
SHARE_USER=administrator
fi
#SHARE_PASS=

echo -ne " \033[0;36mMount point\033[1;30m (Default /mnt/share):\033[00;33m "
read SHARE_MNT
if [ -z ${SHARE_MNT} ]
then
SHARE_MNT=/mnt/share
fi
if [ ! -d ${SHARE_MNT} ]
then
echo -e "\033[0;36mCreating mount point (${SHARE_MNT})\033[1;30m...\033[00;33m "
sudo mkdir ${SHARE_MNT}
fi

echo -e "\033[00m"

sudo mount.cifs //${SHARE_HOST}/${SHARE_DIR} ${SHARE_MNT} -o user=${SHARE_USER}

TinyCore doesn't seem to recognize the "smb" prefix. Help will be appreciated.

smb:// requires gvfs.

This should help:

This method takes care of character encoding, and doesn't depend on any particular file-manager.
