Samba/SWAT can linux look into windows share?
 

Good day,

I just finished installing samba/swat. Now, When I look at online documents(googe etc) they only talk about making linux share availabe to windows.

My question is can linux use/see the windows share?

Thanks.

Yes, you need samba client only to make that work. Konkueror can be used if you are using KDE. In the location bar type

or you can look at the network with

this will list all systems in one work group.

Running this on the command line will show you what's available and where:
It asks for a password.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I was able to see/read windows share from linux using konqueror.
But now I can't update files in that share.
I tells me I don't have write permission. I believe I do have write permissions.
Since I can update share if I am in MSwindows environment.

Are you getting asked for a username and password when you try to access the Windows share? If you are not being given write permission, then Windows is not accepting you as a user that has write permission. Are the workgroup names the same on the Linux and the Windows system? How are the Windows permissions set?

^ you are right it saves, file now.
yesterday some one else had them open for writing, that's way I was getting an error.
