Hi,
I'm using Tux Commander as my file manager (latest release). I use it with Fluxbox over Arch. We have a small Lan with 2 MS win boxes and two Linux boxes. If I use XFFM I can see and get at all the other machines through the SMB Network option.
One of the TuxC options is Network and when I select that it then has an option for 'Open Connection'. Next you get to define each 'connection'. I enter the following values into the following fields;
Name >> OURSERVER
URI >> smb://administrator.***@OURSERVER
Server[;port]: >> OURSERVER:
Username: >> administrator
password >> ***
When I select 'connect' it replies with;
'Couldn't open the URI specified. Please check the consistency of the resource identifier and the access permission.'
Does anyone have a clue? I have scoured the net for detailed docs on Tux Commander and found none although it is a good file manager and I'd really like to be able to use it.
Thanks,
Jim
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
the syntax "Server[:port]" means, that you can specify just machine name or machine name with port by "ourserver:1234". This is a standard convetion with string parts, which are not required.
So, try to remove that colon and see what happens. Network connections in Tux Commander rely on the gnome-vfs library and SMB protocol is not always working, depending on the gnome-vfs library version. It is recommended to use standard smbmount to mount the network volume manually - it has many advantages.
