smbMount software allows opening of smb:// URLs directly in the Finder using a browser, enabling users to access shared network resources efficiently. It's a handy tool for those who leverage SMB file shares and servers.
Whether you are using Firefox or Safari, you can't assign the Finder to open smb links. This is because the Finder isn't an smb handler. However, with smbMount, you can easily pass the links to the Finder using the 'mount volume' Apple Event. This way, they will open just as they would in the 'Connect to Server...' menu item.
In addition, smbMount can also handle the popular but incorrect SMB:// scheme. It understands embedded usernames and passwords, making the work even easier. With this tool, you can now seamlessly work with smb URLs without any hassle.
