Terminal and NAS -

[Bob Goodwin]

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.

I didn't see that in google, I guess I had the wrong key words ...

[root@Box83 bobg]# smbclient -L 192.168.1.1
Enter SAMBA\bobg's password:

The Man page says "smbclient - ftp-like client to access SMB/CIFS 
resources on servers."

Can you suggest a comman do list files on "sda1" perhaps?

Thanks for the response ...

You looked at the man page, it has instructions.

Try "smbclient //192.168.1.1/sda1".

You can also mount it using "-t cifs".  See "man mount.cifs" for details.

This works:

[root@Box83 bobg]# smbclient //192.168.1.1/sdb1
Enter SAMBA\bobg's password:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: >

But I can't seem to find the right command to mount it:

[root@Box83 bobg]# mount.cifs  //192.168.1.1/sdb1 /mnt/test
Password for bobg@//192.168.1.1/sdb1:
mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I probably have the command wrong but that is as close as I seem to be 
able to get.

Did you try "ls"?

The kernel defaults to version 2 now, but if that's an old NAS, it might 
still be using version 1.  Try:
"mount -t cifs -o vers=1.0 //192.168.1.1/sdb1 /mnt/test"

.
Yes, that works. The equipment is not so old but the Samba/cifs is from 
the router program TomatoUSB in an Asus RT-N66U router. That combination 
works so well I hesitate to update it. Perhaps I could try it in another 
router, but that's another project ...

I've gained some useful experience and information for my notes from 
this thread. And it looks like I have the control via Linux of the NAS 
data that I was looking for, I can mount the NAS and deal with the data 
in a terminal. Thunar is good for viewing contents but has it's limitations.

Thanks to you and Cameron,--

Router companies do not seem to be in any hurry to update their software 
for systems they've already sold.  Nor do they tell customers the status 
of the software. The marketing is all about plug and play and web based 
control or phone apps. Is there a version of dd-wrt that implements 
version 2?
