The shell (that the script starts) doesn't know about smb protocol. |
| 11 |
Konqueror has code that talks smb. |
| 12 |
You might be able to script smbclient with expect or something but |
| 13 |
assuming you have this USB device setup as a windows share: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
One way would be to mount the disk locally using cifs. See |
| 16 |
`man mount.cifs' for details but the syntax looks like this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
>From /etc/fstab (This is all one line in fstab) |
| 19 |
//harvey/harvey-c /mnt/harvey-c cifs noauto,username=reader,\ |
| 20 |
credentials=/etc/samba/CifsCredentials |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Those are `UNC' paths like you would use with smbclient. (But not |
| 23 |
Kanqueror). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A command line might look like: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
mount -t cifs -o user=reader%XXPASSWDXX //harvey/harvey-c /mnt/harvey-c |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The directory /mnt/harvey-c has to be created ahead of time. |
| 30 |
The user reader needs to have an account on that windows machine. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
You'll need a windows user account username and password. If you |
| 33 |
don't use passwords for windows shares I think you can just leave out |
| 34 |
the %SECRET_PASS, but I'm not sure exactly. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Once the device is mounted locally you can read/write to/from it in |
| 37 |
scripting, then umount it at the end of the script. |
