Hey guys (and gals)

I am writing something that needs to connect to a SMB server... can
this
be done easliy?

I copied a sample code from php.net that used the system() command
and
mounted the SMB to a /mnt/tmp partion, and technically, it works....
the
problem is, is that mount has to be run as root...

is there a way to put the "mount/unmount" commands into an allowed
command?   i supposed, the other problem is, is waht if this is on a
windows machine?

i dont really want to mess with permissions too much, since this
will
have to be portable from linux to windows...   any help would be
appreciated...

is there any reason the php application code has to be responsible for
mounting the network drive?

typically this is an os-level responsibility.

this is true, but i am looking at mounting it, reading the contents,
maybe moving a file to it, or renaming a file... and then closing the
smb share.

i have thought abotu making it a requirement on the users end to have
the directory ready for the application... but thought also about maybe
giving them the option to connect to it and do what it has to do, then
close it...

i've been doing it the second way, but was wondering if the first was a
viable option or not.
hmm, yeah im not sure if theres a clean mounting interface between
windows
and linux.  the nomenclature is different for one, and im not even sure
how
to mount a network drive programmatically under windows.  maybe someone
else
on the list does.

You don't need to "mount" the share. If the share is available, then
you can access using UNC ...

But you don't need to mount the share

Is this not the same on unix?


im not sure, ive got some linux machines mounting windows shares and it
seems ls is not happy using the smb url to the share.  there may be a way
though, for those willing to dig a little :D

You can use 'smbclient' for copy file from the machine running the
client (Linux) to the server (Windows). In PHP it is necessary to use
functions like system or shell_exec.
