The smb worker enables you to browse the shares of a Windows® (or Samba) network.

To see the workgroups, enter `smb:/`.

`smb://`a_workgroup`` will list the hosts in this workgroup.

To see the shares of a host, enter `smb://`the_host`` or `smb:/`a_workgroup`/`the_host``.

To access a share directly enter `smb://`the_host/the_share`` or `smb:/`a_workgroup`/`the_host`/`the_share``

The smb worker requires that you have libsmbclient to use this worker.

You can set your default user name and password in the System Settings category Network in Connectivity → Windows Shares. This is especially useful if you are a member of a Windows® NT domain. There you can also set your workgroup name, but in most cases this is not required. The worker will ask for your username and password if a default is not set.
