acces windows share from my linux box
I everyone
I'm a real linux newbie and I want to acces my windows share from my all new linux box.... I'm using slackware 10.1, and xfce as window manager.... if you can give me gui solution or even a text solution step-by-step..... thanks in advance to all who will reply! Jean Bruno |
if you go into a terminal, this should work:
su (password) smbmount //windowsbox/share /mnt/dir just make sure that windowsbox is the network name of your windows box, share is the name of the directory you want to access, and that /mnt/dir exists. |
I tried it and it reply me:
"bash-3.00$su Password bash-3.00#smbmount //FAMILLE/F /mnt/dir params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf": No such file or directory Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it Could not resolve mount point /mnt/dir bash-3.00#" I think that i need to edit my smb.conf, but I don't know how... Help me plz!!!! |
there is a smb.conf file in /etc/samba but renamed as smb.new or something or other, just cd to that directory, and see, and open it, scroll down to this part of the file
Code:
# Most people will find that this option gives better performance. Code:

can someone tell me how to configure smb.conf correctly???(plz step-by-step) a linux newbie Jean Bruno |
In Slackware 10.0 there is a very comprehensive guide to samba in file:/usr/doc/samba-3.0.4/docs/using_samba
It should be there in 10.1, providing you installed the documentation packages. Mike. |

also, you're trying to access //FAMILLE/F - which i suppose is your F: drive in windows. as far as i know, you can't share a drive that way, you have to share a specific folder. in other words, in windows i have the following directory that i want to share from my windows pc named maverick: D:/MyStuff/Pics the command to mount this on a remote linux computer would be: mkdir /mnt/pics smbmount //maverick/Pics /mnt/pics |
