Re: [Qemu-devel] slirp: question about using SMB on windows host with linux guest

[FONNEMANN Mark]

Michael-



OK, I was confused until reading your email but I have now been able to get it 
to work.

Unfortunately, I find that it is *very* unreliable when trying to mount the 
share; It only works sometimes.

See attached screenshot.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I am using qemu 2.9.0.



Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / 敬具,

Mark.

There's no such thing as "slirp built-in SMB Server". Qemu does not have an SMB 
server built-in, qemu uses samba to provide smb functionality, it spawns smbd.  
So you have to have smbd on windows in order to use this functionality.



However, on windows, it's easy to use native CIFS server, just share the 
directory you want to share and connect to your windows machine from within 
guest.
