SMBNetFS

SMBNetFS is a Linux filesystem that enables users to utilize samba and Microsoft network in the same manner as the network neighborhood in Microsoft Windows. It provides unique features such as the ability to use Samba/Microsoft network as a regular Unix filesystem, while workgroup/computer/share entries are dynamically created. Moreover, the windows domain is supported and user-defined workgroup/link/hosts are also possible.

One of the significant benefits of using SMBNetFS is that national character is supported. This enables users to access any computer in the world using the "cd mountpoint/ip-addr" command where "ip-addr" is the IP address of the desired computer. Additionally, the "cd mountpoint/username:password@computer_or_ip" command allows users to access "computer_or_ip" as a user "username" with password "password," although this is considered insecure.

Furthermore, the program is multithreaded, allowing for simultaneous access to a file/share. It also has an automatic reload of the config file if it was changed. Most importantly, SMBNetFS is an open-source tool that enables software developers and administrators to access their files over the network.

In the latest release, a bug in Samba/locale conversion that appeared in version 0.3.7 has been fixed, making it possible to access more features than earlier versions. In conclusion, SMBNetFS is an excellent software tool that simplifies accessing files over the network and improves productivity.
