smbnetfs: Make shares available at `mountpoint`.
$ smbnetfs ${mountpoint}
try on your machine

The command smbnetfs ${mountpoint} is used to mount a Samba share on a local directory within the filesystem.

Here's a breakdown of this command:

  • smbnetfs: It is the main executable of the smbnetfs tool, which is used to mount Samba shares as a local file system.
  • ${mountpoint}: It is a placeholder for the location where you want to mount the Samba share. You need to replace ${mountpoint} with the actual path of the directory where you want to access the Samba share.

When you run this command, the smbnetfs tool will establish a connection with the Samba server, authenticate if necessary, and mount the shared directory on the specified ${mountpoint}. Once mounted, you can interact with the Samba share as if it were a local file system, accessing files, creating directories, and performing other operations.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
