I have a router connected NAS, via a USB port. it is a samba server and works. There is a "send to" function that works for saving files and it works well enough from various Apple devices but I would prefer to be able to connect to it from a terminal and do thins like create directories and add and delete files etc. in a more convenient way.
How can I do that, can it be done? There doesn't appear to be any LAN address as with a Linux samba server? Just the router itself at the usual 192.168.1.1. The computer runs Fedora 29 and the router a version of dd-wrt, nether of which probably matters.
Have you tried considering the router the samba server?
Does "smbclient -L 192.168.1.1" work?
Once you can mount the SMB shared you should be able to cd around in them from the terminal and do the usual stuff.
