To see the shares of a host, enter smb://the_host or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host . To access a share directly enter smb://the_host/the_share or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host /the_share The smb ioslave requires that you have libsmbclient to use this ioslave. You can set your default user name and password in the &kcontrol; in NetworkWindows Shares. This is especially useful if you are a member of a &Windows; domain. There you can also set your workgroup name, but in most cases this is not required. The tdeioslave will ask for your username and password if a default is not set.
