Applications / Re: Samba client on OS2 Warp 4.52
« on: April 27, 2019, 07:14:50 pm »Hi,
You will also need to install the smb NetDrive plugin. You can find it here: http://trac.netlabs.org/samba
Once installed, use the NetDrive Volume menu and select "Attach New Volume" menu option. You will then elect a drive letter to assign your mount point.
With your mount point highlighted within NetDrive, select the Resource menu and the "Mount Resource" menu option. You will be presented with a screen where you should see the option of "smbfs" which is your samba plugin you installed.
Clicking the "Properties" button will present a screen where you identify your smb workgroup, server, share name, and login credentials. Once you complete these entries and click the Done button, you will then have your mount point defined and it should be mounted and ready for use.
To save these settings for future use, select the NetDrive menu and the Volume Configuration Save option.
If you ever lose your mount point due to network issues, you can restart NetDrive by selecting the NetDrive menu, and Control Program Start option.
Sean, sorry for getting back to you, I have installed the samba plugin and proceeded as per your instruction.
Once selected a drive letter to mount (K) , then I go in Resource menu, select the Mount Resource item, choose smbfs and click on Properties (img smbfs1.jpg).
Here (img smbfs2.JPG) is not so clear what/where to set as parameter, and I've also read the HELP section. My main need is to discover/browse my HD volumes other than C:\ which is the root OS2 system in VirtualBox, and secondly (possibly) my home lan connected volumes.
Whatever I try to write -without knowing what it might mean- , I obtain the system error warnings (img smbfs3.JPG and img smbfs4.JPG).
Of course I would need to be more aware or at least more intuitive
