Sync to Samba Share via GUI [ unsolved ]
Sync to Samba Share via GUI [ unsolved ]
I’m looking for a way in Plasma to backup and sync my data from PC to a LAN Samba share on my NAS, using a GUI program.
The many sync apps (Grsync, Unison, Lucky, RealTime, Kup etc.) I’ve tried over many years, don’t let me set a remote/samba target. Most navigate locally only. I would mount the share, but nobody I’ve found knows of a GUI way to permanently mount it.
Everything else I need on Plasma has a GUI solution. Just a sync fails. I’d be grateful to hear of a GUI solution

Yes, but doing it in terminal doesn't require any obscure commands, it will guide you through and ask questions for everythingThe terminal is obscure in itself. I'm not sure how to start it or what commands to use.

There is a button in the gui to add a remote which opens a terminal which asks you for stuffOh thats what that was. It looked like an error message. So I tried it. Horrible UX, and it did not have samba. I tried a few of the alternatives and it didn't manage to connect.

Ah, I think it spawns xterm by default, which looks bad. And it has smb, does not have it for you?
(It's option 44 for me)Thanks I founf CIFS/smb on 35. It connected. Now trying to find out how to use the remote.
