I hope this helps, even though the answer to your original question is negative: Thunar does not (and judging from their mailing list discussions will not) support an smb:// protocol.
Hm then I haven't understand this right, thanks
]]>If you have fuse installed (don't forget to add it to your rc.conf MODULES section), then you can use fusesmb for mounting smb shares as if they were real directories.
# pacman -S fusesmb
If everything is set up, you start fusesmb by typing fusesmb mount-point, e.g.
$ mkdir /home/myname/shares
$ fusesmb /home/myname/shares
It might take quite a while until the whole network is shared. Also, fusesmb can't prompt you for passwords (even though the author supposedly is thinking about a dbus-based solution). Unmounting works like this
$ fusermount -u /home/myname/shares
You can customize fusesmb, e.g. if you need passwords to access certain mounts, by setting up a file ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf like this:
[global]
username = xxx
password = yy
interval = 10
Or you can add share-specific options like this
[/WORKGROUP/SHARE]
username = xxx
password = yyy
I hope this helps, even though the answer to your original question is negative: Thunar does not (and judging from their mailing list discussions will not) support an smb:// protocol.
BTW, if you are looking for sharing files on linux machines, and you have just discovered fuse, try sshfs, which is also packaged.

]]>Here I have read that Thunar has support to the smb protocol with fuse
http://foo-projects.org/~benny/projects … .0rc1.html
I have installed Fuse, and load the Fuse Modul, but in Thunar when I do smb://.. nothing is going on...
can anyone help?
