# SMB

The smb worker enables you to browse the shares of a &Windows; (or Samba) network.

To see the workgroups, enter ``smb:/``.

``smb://``a_workgroup`` will list the hosts in this workgroup.

To see the shares of a host, enter ``smb://``the_host`` or ``smb:/``a_workgroup`/`the_host``.

To access a share directly enter ``smb://``the_host/the_share`` or ``smb:/``a_workgroup`/`the_host`/`the_share``

The smb worker requires that you have libsmbclient to use this worker.

You can set your default user name and password in the &systemsettings; category Network in Connectivity Windows Shares. This is especially useful if you are a member of a &Windows; NT domain. There you can also set your workgroup name, but in most cases this is not required. The worker will ask for your username and password if a default is not set.
