Hi, I would like to announce the alpha release of fuse-workspace, a tool which takes care of access to all kinds of resources. It's independent of the GUI, this works in every environment, so also in the textconsole. It gives access on filesystem level, via FUSE for virtual maps and uses external mount commands when mounting SMB shares, and cifs is used. Please test, and try! Access to smb shares can be internal (then libsmbclient is used) and cifs (then fuse-workspace mounts using cifs). See: https://github.com/stefbon/fuse-workspace Apart from access the smb network, it supports an audio cd, and I'm working on access to FTP servers. I've tested it on some machines, but it's alpha.
