Samba Shares via Command Line? (Oh, and viewing pictures)

[Lisa Kachold]

Hey Tuna!  [Award winning HackFester!]

There are two options for command line shares access:

1) smbclient:

smbclient //ip-address//e$ -U ntusername
2) cifs mount

mkdir -p /mnt/test
mount -t cifs //server-ip/share username=monk,password=secreat /mnt/test
cd /mnt/test
mount.cifs //192.168.1.6/ssh-vnc /mnt/test/ -o user=asil.kit,dom=obnosis.com


Bonus Question: Viewing pictures via command line:

A) Use X11 forwarding (if you have 6000 open)

1) setup SSH correctly

ssh -X -Y username at system

2) Set display as 0:0  [can be automated in .bashrc]
DISPLAY=168.109.98.15:0.0; export DISPLAY
3) xv, gqview or xzgv would both work.  
Gqview is exclusively an x-app, where is xzgv is based on zgv, which is an svgalib app.


2) Using zgv you could even do pictures on linux console via
sdl or svgalib (it's a hack).
3) "display/imagemagic" 

B) Using console (various solutions):
1) To use ascii for display, it is possible to
use sdl and then invoke the aalib to display jpgs as ascii art on
console. 
2) fbi fbv or fbview for example. you do need to be running a framebuffer and you must be logged in; no vtty's.
 
3) gqview http://gqview.sourceforge.net/ [various clients even exist for manipulating via ssh]
