SMB client for TinkerOS?

[smthng]

I know just barely enough linux to be dangerous, so forgive me if this is a simple or silly question...

Is there an easy SMB browser client for Tinker OS's graphic interface and/or PCManFM?  We're mostly a windows/SMB house and it'd be nice if I could shuffle files back and forth between a couple of SMB NAS's and a Windows server or two using the Tinker.  If there's a handy guide that works for TinkerOS, I'd be happy if someone could point me to it.  Thanks!

Look at Samba. 

SaMBa is to add Windows file sharing to Linux.

I added a bunch of samba packages per several google searches, none of them appeared to do squat other than vaguely change the error messages generated when I try to access a server using PCManFM. Except for Gigolo... it appears to connect to my samba NAS. I'm not sure how helpful it is, because I have to explicitly connect to something using Gigolo before anything else can use it, which kind of defeats the purpose of being able to connect at will using any other program.

So, for others who need to access a SMB/Samba/Windows share, add Gigolo and it's dependencies: Preferences - Synaptics Package Manager - Search - gigolo. Check the box for gigolo - Apply. After it's all done, go to System Tools - Gigolo. From Gigolo (which will also be available as a little icon on the lower left after you run it initially) click Connect. Set service type to Windows Share, enter the server name, the share name and domain and user (just user if it's a workgroup). If prompted for a password after that, enter password. If you chose "remember forever", you'll probably be asked for a keyring password... this is your "collection of remembered passwords". Don't forget it!

If the above doesn't work using the server name, try using the IP address... I don't know why mine isn't doing local name resolution yet. If none of that works, please let me know and I'll see if I can figure out which other samba packages might be "helping". :S

For a command line version:

Code:

apt-get cifs-utils

Then  mount -t cifs '\\nas\folder'  /mnt/smb

I wouldn't recommend the last comment. This is what I did.

sudo apt-get install samba thunar
sudo reboot

Then I opened thunar

thunar

And click Browse Network

You could switch to XFCE4 which would give you thunar as default desktop and file manager, but it's a little complicated.
