This chapter provides details for the CIFS Client Commandline Utilities.

The HP CIFSClient software package consists of the following programs:

cifsclient

Stop and start the CIFS client.

cifsmount

Mount a directory from a remote server.

cifslogin

Authenticates you to the remote server. You may then use any shares already mounted by other users.

cifsumount

The opposite of cifsmount. It removes the local mountpoint and disconnects it from the server if it is not mounted somewhere else.

cifslogout

The opposite of cifslogin. You cannot use any shares from the specified server after logging out.

cifslist

Lists connected servers, mountpoints, mounted shares, etc.

mount_cifs

Mounts the CIFS filesystem.

umount_cifs

Unmounts the CIFS filesystem.

Each of the utilities described above also accepts the options -h and -v if given as the only parameter. The option -h prints a short help to standard error and the option -v prints the current version numbers to standard output.

NOTE: The sequence of arguments to the CIFS Client command-line utilities is significant, and it is reversed from conventional UNIX commands. For example, in:

cifslogin server -U user

the argument pair -U user must appear after the argument server.
