Samba?


Hi,

I've used samba to share my Linux folders to my windows PC in a network. Been successful.

Now, how can I share my windows folders to my Linux?

What program should I use?

Well, just use samba Samba can be used to share your drive/pc and access other shares.

Take a look in your /etc/samba/smb.conf (or wherever it's stored). You can see some pre-defined entry's which you can use. It's quite simple, as long as you follow the directions in smb.conf.

Hope this helpes.

Sharing window folders

Refer to www.samba.org & search the website for more info.

To mount a windows share (as root in console):

mount -t smbfs //windowspc/share /mnt/winshare

if username,password needed then

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx //windowspc/share /mnt/winshare
