View source for Tinysmb

'''tinysmb''' is a lightweight [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block SMB] client originally written by softdev for the GameCube. It is now included as part of [[libogc]]. It has since been updated by [[User:Tantric|Tantric]] to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTLM NTLM] (with SMB dialect NT LM 0.12). In addition, rodries and scip have written a devoptab allowing SMB to be used uses via standard file operation functions (using a prefix of smb:/).

== User usage ==

tinysmb follows the "SMB over IP" standard and so uses TCP port 445 by default, rather than the deprecated TCP ports 137-139. If this fails, it will attempt to establish a NBT session and use port 139. tinysmb requires [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTLM NTLM] for authentication (supported by all major Operating Systems). Tutorials for setting up a file share in [http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm Windows XP] and [http://cws.internet.com/article/3592-.htm Windows Vista] are available.

== Developer usage ==

Adding SMB support to your program is easy! All you need to do is initialize the network, and then make a call to smbInit() to connect to the SMB share. From there you can use standard file functions to access to the share by prefixing smb:/ to your path.
