simplest file sharing between Win2k Pro and RH8...

kublador · 03-22-2003, 04:58 AM

please help me...
i have 2 computers...
PC-1 (Win2k Pro / dial up connection)
PC-2 (Redhat 8.0)
both are connected.. pingable... internet sharing has been a success...
my problem for now is how can PC-1 see the contents of the files of PC-2 and vice versa?

someone told me to use samba..
i installed samba from the RH8 discs...
i rebooted...
i typed samba
nothing happened.. command is not found..
hmmmmm what should i do?
what is the simplest way for these two to share files?

thank you very much...

I don't know how many times I've pointed people to HOWTOs.. I feel like a jerk because I seem to be the only one doing it. I learned from jacking with linux and reading HOWTOs along with other people's input, but I always searched the HOWTO database first.

Linux is a very good learning tool if you take advantage of it. Take it seriously and don't slime through it and it can pay off in your career.
