hi all

dont know if anyone can help with this one

I am running a small network with 3 machines on it (one Fedora 3 box, 1 XPpro box anda cobalt 2 qube)

I am logging in remotely

I can access the shared drived on the XP machine via the gui fine without problem but i having problems accessing them from the command line?

I cannot seem to find the right command to access the drives with a command line can anyone help?

when i check the share i get the following

/usr/bin/smbclient -L \\whitestar
Password:
Domain=[WHITESTAR] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\whitestar\\DC/(g) password

and i get the following error message

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

you'd need to escape the brackets i.e. $D$

Chris thanks tried that

now i have a different error

/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\whitestar\\DC/$G$ password
Domain=[WHITESTAR] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

any ideas on that one?

Note shielded space, if your share name is 'DC (G)'.

Code:

/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\whitestar\\DC\ \(G\) password

Another possibility is also to rename share.

It's been awhile but how does it handle quotes? //servername/"d$"

just_dan · 04-07-2005, 08:19 AM

[root@localhost dan]# mount -t smbfs //whitestar/"D$" /mnt/whitestar/D/ -o username=dan

Is the whole D drive being shared? Or just MP3?

just_dan · 04-07-2005, 12:40 PM

it is the whole drive.. sorry if its confusing.. its a hard drive full of mp3s

sbassett · 04-07-2005, 12:57 PM

Well if this is the case, I would rename the share, dropping any $ you may have on the windows side. This will make everything just a little smoother.

just_dan · 04-07-2005, 01:09 PM

its ok i fixed it now

it appears that i can mount any of them that have "disk" after them the others wont

thanks for all your help guys
