SMBFS 1.74

Posted on: 2009/11/11 16:06 #1

Just can't stay away

I've updated the SMBFS from 1.73 to the latest version from sourceforge.net on both my ?A1-C and my SAM440ep. Using this new version I can copy files that are 100s of MB from Amiga to PC very quickly. With older versions copying even just a few MB would take several minutes. I'm currently copying a file of about 1.5 GB which with the older version would before have taken several hours to copy but now takes only some minutes.

@spotUP & davebraco

Just in case I was unclear. I haven't done any programming on SMBFS. I just downloaded the update from sourceforge and figured that since it was such a big improvement people would want to know.

IIRC Olaf Barthel is the author of SMBFS so that's probably who you should be thanking.

- Integrated Harry Sintonen's fix for the problem caused by large
writes to files. The respective packet size was off by one byte.
Thank you very much!

Any idea if it now works with Vista? I guess not if it is only a minor version change :(

EDIT: Tried it, but it didn't want to know at all. So I guess still doesn't like Vista...

Ah well, FtpMount still works great here with the FileZilla FTP server.

Great stuff. I use SMBFS to pump my data from my A1 to my PC.

Great news, thanks.

It's unfortunate it will not connect to Vista or Windows 7 shares, though.

The usefulness of SMBFS is rather compromised because of this limitation (for those who have a Vista or Windows 7 PC).

I got it (the latest v1.74) working with W7 RC easy. It works with the latest Ubuntu 9.10 as well.

Command line I'm using:
run >nil: C:SMBFS Volume=volume_name Workgroup=HOMEGROUP Service=//computer_name/share_name translate=L:FileSystem_Trans/INTL.crossdos User=user_name Password=`C:RequestString "Password ?" "Password ?" INVISIBLE`

Translate option is not needed if you don't need non-English characters (I guess/bet).

(I'm using RequestString command to get the password so I don't have to put it into any script file.)

(Replace volume_name, computer_name, user_name and share_name to whatever you're using.)

I'm using with Ubuntu:
run >nil: C:SMBFS Volume=volume_name Workgroup=WORKGROUP Service=//computer_name/share_name translate=L:FileSystem_Trans/INTL.crossdos User=user_name Password=`C:RequestString "Password ?" "Password ?" INVISIBLE`

This does NOT work for my Vista machine, but did used to work with XP:
Quote:

Programs:Network/smbfs WORKGROUP=workgroup USER=user_name PASSWORD=password VOLUME=volume_name SERVICE=//computer_name/share_name

Differences I noticed from your command:
1. You have a colon after the "volume_name". I doubt this is needed?
2. You have Device=SMB0: . I guess this isn't needed?
3. You have translate=L:FileSystem_Trans/INTL.crossdos . Surely this isn't required?
4. For SERVICE you seem to be directly accessing the User's folders, rather than using a pre-specified share. Well, i want to access the whole drive (for example "C$"), not some little user folder.

I would be most grateful if you could try making the changes (one by one with a test after each) to see whether any of them is essential for it to work. For the fourth point, try using SERVICE=//computer_name/C$ although that may not work due to admin priviledges, so it might be better if you created a new share for your C drive...

This is what I use to mount my Shared folder (E:\Shared on the PC) on my SAM440ep:


SMBFS volume="Shared" username=pc_name workgroup=WORKGROUP service="//pc_name/Shared"

This works with Windows XP.

I made more tests. (Now I'm learning more. Last time I wanted to make it to work one way or another.)

translate=L:FileSystem_Trans/INTL.crossdos

I guess you don't need it because you're an English person. It "fixes"/handles scandinavian letters.

Quote:

It's not necessary but it doesn't do any harm either.

Quote:

This is not needed.

Quote:

SERVICE=//computer_name/share_name

Now I found it. Folders properties+sharing tab (W7) there was that full path to my shared folder I was using. But clicking Sharing "extra settings" button (I'm using Finnish version so I'm not sure of accurate English naming), there you can set a name of the share. After doing so now I can access my W7 with SERVICE=//computer_name/share_name (like with Ubuntu).

(Using a full path instead of a share name made that connection to a different directory anyway. (W7))

So far I haven't found a way how to use a guest account.

Can you confirm that you can write files TO the share from the Amiga?

I was always before able to access the share, but writing files didn't work on Vista. Worked fine on XP.

Thanks

Yes. (I don't have Visva to test.)

Thanks for the script I now have samba connection to my XP computer working a treat from my sam440ep, before I only had working connections to my sam440ep using samba.

The network setup on my sam now feels so much more complete.

Thanks for reminding me that this excellent package has been fixed, as I remembered reading about someone else having the problems that have now been fixed and missed the news at the time that the bug fixed release had been made.

Fast direct connections to my network shared files using my sam440ep is very useful and was the probably the biggest thing missing from my network setup before today.

Bah, I still can't get it to work with Vista. SMBFS just times-out after a while, saying could not connect to server

. Not sure how I can get more info to find out why it's failing.
