This command is designed to be run from within /bin/mount by giving
the option '-t smbfs'. For example:
mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test
/data/test
dont forget ip=<arg> destination host or IP address
If they are serious they have som kind of vpn or encryption that you can
connect to. I use ssh myself. you can use fish protocol and browse
through directories.
Even better is lftp and fish you can then set eg. bandwidth control.
Thats what I use when i do big copies for files. I then have enough Kb/s
for running other apps as mail web etc. With lftp you can also put
datatrasfer in background and browse files or start an other
filetransfer. I hope you find out something.
