SMB for FUSE Description

SMB for FUSE is a tool for mounting the network neighbourhood. With SMB for Fuse you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as were it on your own filesystem. Instead of mounting one Samba share at a time, you mount all workgroups, hosts and shares at once. Only when you're accessing a share a connection is made.Here are some key features of "SMB for FUSE":· Browsing workgroups/hosts and shares from any application· Streaming of files (movies/music)· Browsing the network is fast because all hosts and shares are cached Other solutions as GnomeVFS or KIO slaves provide a similar solution, but have a few disadvantages: · Programs need to be rewritten to make them network transparent.· KIO Slaves cannot stream files making movie/music playing over LAN impossible.· Gnome VFS just is unstable on my system, although is offers streaming.· Automounting shares is possible, but you cannot see more than 8 at a time, because NT Workstation limits the number of connections it's also a lot slower.Requirements:· FUSE >= 1.0· Python >= 2.3· Samba >= 3.0· libsmbclient >= 3.0What's New in This Release:· This release fixes a segmentation fault in the configuration file parser and fixes a problem with temporary cache files.· The program is now compatible with FUSE 2.5 as well.
