MOUNT_SMBFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT_SMBFS(8) NAME mount_smbfs -- mount a server message block (SMB1/CIFS) file system SYNOPSIS mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N] [-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout] [-U username] [-W workgroup] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-n opt] [-u uid] //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node DESCRIPTION The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using SMB/CIFS protocol. The options are as follows: -E cs1:cs2 Specifies local (cs1) and server's (cs2) character sets. -I host Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host, which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address. -L locale Use locale for lower/upper case conversion routines. Set the lo- cale for case conversion. By default, mount_smbfs tries to use an environment variable LC_* to determine it. -M crights:srights Assign access rights to the newly created connection. -N Do not ask for a password. At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a pass- word. If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it. -O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection. -R retrycount How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides to drop the connection. Default is 4. -T timeout Timeout in seconds for each request. Default is 15. -U username Username to authenticate with. -W workgroup This option specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentica- tion request. -c case Set a case option which affects name representation. case can be one of the following: Value Meaning l All existing file names are converted to lower case. Newly created file gets a lower case. u All existing file names are converted to upper case. Newly created file gets an upper case. -f mode, -d mode Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directo- ries. The values must be specified as octal numbers. Default value for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the directory mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives read permission. Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server. -u uid, -g gid User ID and group ID assigned to files. The default are owner and group IDs from the directory where the volume is mounted. //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of re- mote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the re- source name on a remote server. Optional port1 and port2 arguments can be used to override default values of port numbers used by com- munication protocols. For SMB over NetBIOS default value for port1 are 139, and port2 are 137. node Path to mount point. FILES ~/.nsmbrc Keeps user-specific static parameters for connections and other information. See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details. /etc/nsmb.conf Keeps system-wide static parameters for connections and other information. EXAMPLES The following example illustrates how to connect to SMB server "SAMBA" as user "GUEST", and mount shares "PUBLIC" and "TMP": mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public mount_smbfs -I 192.168.20.3 -E koi8-r:cp866 //guest@samba/tmp /smb/tmp It is also possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts (the example below does not prompt for a password): //guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto,-N 0 0 SEE ALSO smbutil(1), nsmb.conf(5) Other resources: - Chapter dedicated to Samba configuration in the FreeBSD Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-samba.html STANDARDS mount_smbfs offers support for SMB/CIFS/SMB1. It does not support newer versions of the protocol like SMB2 and SMB3. SMB2 and SMB3 are supported by software available in the ports(7) collection. The list of supported SMB servers includes: - Samba - Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (SPs 4, 5, 6) - IBM LanManager - NetApp HISTORY SMB/CIFS protocol and SMB/CIFS file system implementation first appeared in FreeBSD 4.5.
