NAME

TkSmb - SMB (Samba and Windows) network browser

SYNOPSIS

TkSmb [ -display display ] [ -geometry geometry ]

DESCRIPTION

TkSmb is a graphical interface to smbclient and as such it allows you browse a Windows (or Samba) network to access different workgroups, hosts, and shares on it, mount this shares.

OPTIONS

-display
which DISPLAY to use
-geometry
dimensions of TkSmb window

CONFIGURATION

TkSmb uses two configuration files - a global one /etc/tksmbrc and a per-user one ~/.tksmbrc.

The per-user configuration file overrides any setting in the global file. A sample per-user file is in /usr/share/doc/tksmb/examples/tksmbrc. The various settings are:

USERNAME
Your username on the SMB network
C_GROUP
The name of your workgroup/domain.
C_HOST
The name of your domain server.
netbiosname
Your machine's SMB name.
BROADCAST
Your IP broadcast address - ifconfig should tell you.
DOWNLOAD
Where to download files to.
MountRoot
The directory to mount remote machines on using smbmount.
mountparams
Any options to be passed to smbmount.
timeout
How long to wait for network operations (default is 30 seconds).
font
Which font to use (default is "fixed").
password
Default password
H_PASS_HOST password
Password for host HOST.
SH_PASS_HOST_SHARE password
Password for share SHARE on host HOST.

CAVEATS

Storing plaintext passwords in ~/.tksmbrc is a really bad idea. At the very least, make the file non-readable by anyone but yourself (chmod 0600 ~/.tksmbrc).
