Mapping Remote Windows Drives
 
I am on a home network with most/all of my files stored on a remote Windows server. How can I map my personal folder (and preferably only that folder, if possible) so I can get a hold of it on Linux? There's a few pieces of coursework I could do with on there.

Cheers,
Dan

Share the drive on windows then create a mount point and mount the share:
mkdir /mnt/myshare
mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD //winbox/myshare /mnt/myshare

If you want the share to be mounted on each boot then you can create an entry in /etc/fstab

you if I were you, I would try to find an nfs server for windows, and then mount your windows drive as you home dir (considering that you have an nfs client installed)

the guru must be right :) (seems a lot easier)
