How to share linux dir into windows
Hi All,
I have Red Hat Linux ES4 OS. I would like to share the some of my folders in windows xp. Basically I want to create a shared drive in windows os. Please help me. Thanks, Srini. |
Google for Samba - it's a linux package that allows you to share drives out over the network from a linux machine.

Thank you for the info. By using SAMBA we can share the windows network drive in linux. That is correct? I am looking other way. Please help me and correct me if I am wrong. Thanks |
Samba lets Windows PC's access specified directory paths on a Linux machine.
It also has functions to allow Linux to access Windows, but it's primary function is to serve Linux files to a Windows client. |
smbclient ( samba client ), to allow linux machines to connect to windows servers
Samaba server, to allow windows machines to access linux servers. Samba uses the MS only smb protocol for enabling windows networking, every other os uses the tcp/ip and something like nfs [ Network File System ] for this purpose. this enables everything but microsoft to talk to each other natively. |
