# smbmount-2.1.x(8)

mount smb file system

## NAME

smbmount - mount smb file system

## SYNOPSIS

**smbmount** \[ **options** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**smbmount** is a stripped-down version of the  **smbclient***(1)* program used to mount smbfs shares. It implements only the mount command, which then calls the **smbmnt***(8)* program to do the actual mount. **smbmount** itself accepts most of the options that **smbclient** does. See the **smbclient***(1)* manpage for details.

To mount an smb file system, I suggest using the option **-c** for smbmount to pass the mount command. For example, use

smbmount "\\\\server\\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'

to mount the tmp share of server on /mnt, giving it a local uid 123 and a local gid 456.

The arguments supplied to the mount command are passed directly to the **smbmnt** utility for processing. Refer to the **smbmnt***(8)* manpage for details.
