Network shares

This topic was started in this thread
How to find handler/filesystem but I thought it needed it's own thread.

Now that a smbfs can reliably be identified, what name should we call them? Shared Drive/Disk, Shared Drawer, Network Share, something else.

What image would go with them? I already have had Mason make me a 16x16 png for netdisk and netdrawer.

We don't have a def_networkXXX.info in ENVARC:Sys for any networking situations. I feel they should be made now. I know there is not much need for them, but ChrisH and I have a use for them now. And hopefully others will, too.

I am just looking for opinions on a name(s) and image(s) that are "generic" starting points so everyone keeps things somewhat consistant.

I don't know if you can really differentiate a shared disk from a drawer, so........

Your question seems a bit odd, but I suppose it depends on what purpose you want the name for. They are literally "SMBFS volumes", but maybe that is too specific for you? "SMB network shares" is a more general name, but still tells you the underlying protocol. "Network share" is most general of all.

It sounds like you are writing some kind of utility to scan available SMBFS network shares, and list them or do something with them?

There is def_ftp.info in ENVARC:Sys which a network disk image.

Why use an image that isn't quite right? Is it FTP or a share?

For my use I am going to ask Mason to expand on netdisk.

This is the one I use for shared SMB drives/volumes:



Is there something else you're looking for?
