Samba

Samba GUI page

One of the most asked for features for Samba is a graphical user interface to help with configuration and management. This is finally starting to happen.

In fact, there are now several GUI interfaces to Samba available. Some of them are listed below and I will add the others as soon as I can find the URLs.

Smb4K - An SMB share browser for KDE

Smb4K is an SMB share browser for KDE. Its features are inspired by Komba2 by Frank Schwanz. It uses the Samba software suite for an easy access to the SMB shares of your local network neighborhood.

gnomba - A GNOME SMB Subnet Scanner

Gnomba is a GUI machine and share browser for the SMB protocol. Gnomba allows you to scan any number of subnets for machines with SMB. The workgroups, machines and share are shown in a tree-view. For each machine you can then view the list of shares, and mount, unmount or browse them.

jags - Yet Another GNOME SMB Client

Jags is a Gtk+ based "windows network neighbourhood browser". The program parses the output from smbclient and use this to display a graphic view of the network. This program does the parsing with help from shell- scripts.

komba2 - A KDE SMB Subnet Scanner

Komba2 is a GUI machine and share browser for the SMB protocol. Komba2 allows you to scan any number of subnets for machines with SMB. The workgroups, machines and share are shown in a tree-view. For each machine you can then view the list of shares, and mount, unmount or browse them. You can also search a machine by name or ip.

konqueror - KDE File Browser

KDE's filebrowser Konqueror can access smb filesystems using smb:// URL's.

KSambaPlugins

smbc - Simple Samba Commander

You can also download/upload files and directories or create them both locally and remotely. SMBC features the resume capability and UTF-8 encoding support.

Davenport WebDAV-SMB Gateway

Davenport is a servlet that makes it possible to access samba-shares via webdav through a servlet-container. It allows access to samba-shares through a firewall/proxy without the need to open the smb-related ports and without a VPN-client. See http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ for more info.

QtSmbstatus

QtSmbstatus is a GUI for smbstatus. It is meant to provide the possibility of administering remote machines. QtSmbstatus was designed as a client/server system (with SSL). Possibilities include: view connections, disconnect a user, or send a message (with smbclient -M). For more info see, http://qtsmbstatus.free.fr/.
