SambaUtils 0.2.1

SambaUtils

A C# .NET Library to handle mounting/unmounting Samba shares on Windows.

Description

SambaUtils provides 2 methods (mount, unmount) to handle Samba shares on Windows, while reducing needed boilerplate code to handle net use.

Samba stdout/err can be enabled with SambaUtils.Options.PrintOut = true

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Project targets .NET 6. SDK required for building.
  • We don't call anything specific, so building for .NET 4.8 or .NET 5 isn't an issue.

Building

• Building the library from scratch just requires you to download the solution, then build this through your .NET IDE of choice
• You can also use MSBuild from the CLI to build the file.

Installing

• Add reference to SambaUtils.dll in your .NET Project.

• Alternatively, download the SambaUtils package from Nuget (.NET 6).

Usage

C# Example

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        { 
            Share samba = new Share
            {
                Unc = @"\\nas\storage", // UNC path for Samba Share
                Mount = 'z', // requested mountpoint
                Credentials = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", "password") //samba credentials, could be read from file or pulled from another (safer) source.
            };
            
            // Enable stdout/err output for `net use`
            SambaUtils.Options.PrintOut = true;

            Samba.Mount(samba); // mount the network share with the given parameters
            Samba.Unmount(samba); // unmount the network share.
        }
