network mounting?

doublefailure · 03-01-2003, 11:17 PM

can i mount school server(linux) in my machine?

also, i tried to use smbmount for windows workgroup .
it worked fine, but if i copy a directory with -r. it only copies the directory not the files inside the directory.. what would be the reason?

thanks in advance

If the server has the nfs demons running and has your machine in its /etc/exports you should be able to mount it.

eg

mount server:/somewhere /mnt/here

For mounting windows machines I use

mount -t smbfs //winpcname/c /mnt/here -o guest

your kernel needs support for smbfs.

There are good docs and man pages to describe this fuller
