The SMB Mounter Plugin

Gardner Bell

Revision 3.10.00 (2004-07-14)

The Konqueror smbmounter plugin is used to mount and unmount Samba shares over a network. The programs smbmount and smbumount both have to be installed suid root, so if you consider this a security issue, disable this plugin.

Using the SMB Mounter Plugin

To use the smbmounter, just direct Konqueror into a samba share.

For example, enter smb://host/my_files in the Konqueror Location bar and select Tools->smbmount->current share. The share my_files will be mounted under ~/smb_network/host/my_files.. Once the share has been mounted the smbumount current share menu item will become active, so you are able to unmount the file again.

Note

smbmount is Linux®-only, so it will not work on other systems.
