stalebrim I thought Samba and NFS shares are two completely different things
They're two different protocols. Samba is a Windows protocol - server message block. Nfs is a Linux protocol - network file system. Both protocols pretty much do the same thing, but do it differently.
My NAS (Synology) operates using both smb and nfs. Thus, it's usable on Windows systems and Linux systems, with each using its default protocol. So that Dolphin will connect remotely with remote servers running Windows, it defaults to smb to find shared folders when you click on Network.
Then I click on Shared Folders (smb) to get this.
DiskStation415 is my NAS. Finally, when I click on that, I get these shares.
It's in the Documents share that I can get a folder called Transfer Files, that contains my files that I used to add my macros to .bashrc, and add my shares to /etc/fstab. Then I can mount those shares using nfs, and they show up in Dolphin for easy access.
By modifying /etc/fstab differently, I could mount those shares using smb instead of nfs, but these are Linux systems, so I assume nfs is the better choice.
