Linux CIFS Client - Advanced Common Internet File System for Linux The CIFS VFS is a virtual file system for Linux to allow access to servers and storage appliances compliant with the SNIA CIFS Specification version 1.0 or later. Popular servers such as Samba, Windows 2000, Windows XP and many others support CIFS by default. The CIFS VFS provides some support for older servers based on the more primitive SMB (Server Message Block) protocol (you also can use the Linux filesystem smbfs as an alternative for accessing these). CIFS VFS is designed to take advantage of advanced network filesystem features such as locking, Unicode (advanced internationalization), hardlinks, dfs (heirarchical, replicated name space), distributed caching and uses native TCP names (rather than RFC1001, Netbios names). in Computing > Linux > Howtowith advancedamarokcifsclientcommonfileforinternetlinuxmusicnasnetworkingsystemubuntu Note: I think it's the official samba cifs page, check out the installation page.
UPnP Client? | MythTV | Users Read "nick at rout" responce to UPnP client, it's perfect, well not really but it is what i'm after. "The other option of course is to simply nfs or cifs mount the video directory of your slug to a subdirectory of /mnt/videos. Then you don't need step 4, the files just appear as if on the local drive, but when you play them they come over the network via nfs or cifs. (cifs is the samba protocol, I believe it is more capable than smbfs but I can't remember what gave me that impression) " UPnP Client?
