Sharity Connects You to Windows File Servers Sharity is a client for the CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol, formerly known as SMB (Server Message Block). This is the file-sharing protocol used by Windows NT, 95, 98, 2000, ME, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2, Samba and many others. Sharity mounts these servers in your file system. Mounting means that you can open files directly from the server with any application you like, as if they were on a local disk. Other clients (such as smbclient from the Samba suite) provide only an ftp-like interface where you can copy files to and from the share but cannot open them directly on the server. What's New: Version 2.9: Fixed possible data corruption for files greater than 4GB. Better integration with Mac OS X 10.3 (not complete yet). Supports NTLMv2 authentication for improved password security. Supports SMB Signing for Windows 2003 domain controller compatibility. |
