New to Morphos, would like to access samba shares

[hektic]

Hi,
I've just installed Morphos for the first time on my mac mini

Really impressed so far, speed is amazing and OWB performs really well...

Can someone point me to a guide or at least what programs I need to download to access samba (SMB shares) from my openfiler server.

I'm guessing I must install SMBFS and use an amiga guide from somewhere??

Thanks

For easy access you should add your server's static ip address and host name to hosts (in MorphOS network prefs / Hosts). I have my linux box as:

Code: [Select]


10.0.0.1 asus


Then to mount the asus samba share called "all" I use:

Code: [Select]

run <>nil: stack=32768 l:smbfs CASE DOMAIN=DEBIAN USER=username PASSWORD=password QUIET VOLUME=asus: CACHE=1024 SERVICE=//asus/all

Domain name is the network neighbourhood name, in my case that's DEBIAN.

smbfs is all you need. Then it's just a matter of figuring out the command line.

I've been using the 68K build of SMBMounter to help. It provides a GUI wrapper for smbfs.

Thanks guys, got it working with what you both suggested... I like the GUI app though, makes it nice and easy.

What app would you recommend for playing back MKV's?

I'm hoping it can do 720p playback, if not i'll have to do some converting.

I'm going to register at the end of the month, REALLY impressed with it!
