This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
|
||
|
|
(CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
|
||
|
|
(SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
|
||
|
|
PC operating systems. CIFS is fully supported by current network
|
||
|
|
file servers such as Windows 2000, Windows 2003 (including
|
||
|
|
Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
|
||
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems), so
|
||
|
|
this network filesystem client can mount to a wide variety of
|
||
|
|
servers. The smbfs module should be used instead of this cifs module
|
||
|
|
for mounting to older SMB servers such as OS/2. The smbfs and cifs
|
||
|
|
modules can coexist and do not conflict. The CIFS VFS filesystem
|
||
|
|
module is designed to work well with servers that implement the
|
||
|
|
newer versions (dialects) of the SMB/CIFS protocol such as Samba,
|
||
|
|
the program written by Andrew Tridgell that turns any Unix host
|
||
|
|
into a SMB/CIFS file server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The intent of this module is to provide the most advanced network
|
||
|
|
file system function for CIFS compliant servers, including better
|
||
|
|
POSIX compliance, secure per-user session establishment, high
|
||
|
|
performance safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
|
||
|
|
signing, large files, Unicode support and other internationalization
|
||
|
|
improvements. Since both Samba server and this filesystem client support
|
||
|
|
the CIFS Unix extensions, the combination can provide a reasonable
|
||
|
|
alternative to NFSv4 for fileserving in some Linux to Linux environments,
|
||
|
|
not just in Linux to Windows environments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This filesystem has an optional mount utility (mount.cifs) that can
|
||
|
|
be obtained from the project page and installed in the path in the same
|
||
|
|
directory with the other mount helpers (such as mount.smbfs).
|
||
|
|
Mounting using the cifs filesystem without installing the mount helper
|
||
|
|
requires specifying the server's ip address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Linux 2.4:
|
||
|
|
mount //anything/here /mnt_target -o
|
||
|
|
user=username,pass=password,unc=//ip_address_of_server/sharename
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Linux 2.5:
|
||
|
|
mount //ip_address_of_server/sharename /mnt_target -o user=username, pass=password
|
||
|
|
|
