SMBNetFS is a Linux filesystem designed for user-space that enables mounting remote SMB shared folders using the Samba protocol.
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.
