Mapping a SAMBA directory..
Hi,
I have a situation where I need to execute (via WINE) a mail application which is stored on a Win2K3 shared folder. I can connect to the remote folder and find the file I need to execute, but the path "smb://username@server/TargetFolder" is not in a valid format for WINE. Is there a way to map such a path to a standard file system path (i.e. "/samba/TargetFolder") - kind of like setting up a mapped drive in Windows? Thanks very much. Arzer |
Yes, you just need to mount it.
I.E: mount -t smbfs //Computer/Share /mnt/Target |
Thanks,
Ok, I create a mount point at /mnt/target using mkdir. Next, I issue the following: mount -t smbfs -o usernane=arzer,password=thepassword //computer/targetshare /mnt/target The shell responds: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //computer/targetshare, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Can anyone see what I am missing here? Thanks very much. Arzer |
Seems like you spelled the shared location wrong? take a look at smbmount for ex. When i have mounted a CD-ROM an stuff manually i have sometimes gotten that message usually meaning i have tryed to for example mount the wrong devices file, /dev/cdrom instead if /dev/hdd for example. Though, try smbmount.

Thanks,
I double checked that the share names and server names were correct so this is not the problem. I saw on a HOWTO about the smbmount method, but smbmount doesnt appear to be on my system? Any ideas on where I can get hold of it? Thanks Arzer |
I think smbfs is not installed. Install it and check. That will take care of everything.
