SMBwebguy is a Flask-based web application for managing SMB shares on windows systems. It allows users to log in, configure servers, and mount/unmount SMB shares. As a user of Avid Nexis-type storage servers, I really missed having a software like the Nexis client that allows managing many users on the same storage with different permissions, without wasting time using tedious Windows menus. So, I created a web-based version, which simplifies remote management for admins on the LAN, and with additional features, like having multiple servers credentials pre-configured.
- User authentication
- Each user can configure their own set of credentials on SMB servers
- List available shares on all configured servers for a user
- Mount and unmount shares on logical letters
- Configure, save and load a default drive mapping preset
- Default mappings are loaded when user log in and all conectiona are disconected when the user log out
