I have just installed smbclient on a server at work and have connected to a share on another computer at work to access files. Ok so it the interface looks like an ftp program with commands like Put get etc to browse the share.

My question is can I mount the accessed share to a folder in my /home/username/folder rather than browsing through the smbclient interface?

If so whats the syntax? or instructions how to.

Cheers for any input guys / gals

Use LinNeighborhood software, a normal user
can mount in his/her home dir with RW
permissions, and GUI interface.

another excellent gui interface that allows you to select the mnt dir is xsmbrowser
