Hello,
From windows virtual machine share the folder then:- You can use it on linux as follows:- mount -t smbfs //winmachinename/winsharename /mnt/somepoint/ This will ask username /password which you will have to provide mannually. Share will remain mounted untill next reboot. The automatic and permenant way:- in /etc/fstab make follwing entries:- //winmachine/winshare /mnt/windows/c smbfs defaults 1 1 //winmachine/cdrom /mnt/windows/cdrom smbfs username="urusername",password="yourpassword" 1 1 this is so if you have passwords set |
