[NTLUG:Discuss] Accessing samba dir

[Patrick Parks]

Thanks, it helps a little. I would rather not have to deal with Samba, but I
currently have not been very successful in getting NFS working between my
Linux machines, and needed a quick fix to move dome data around. I have not
had much time to research the problems I am having in NFS (I can view the
shares on the other computers, but can not access them). My job has required
a little more time than usual (sigh) but I can not complain. When I get back
to working on getting the NFS working, I will post my findings and
solutions, or questions if I still dont have it working to the list for
those that are dealing with the same thing now, or in the future. Thanks
again.

Since I rarely have to access windows shares, I am lazy about finding out
how it works. To get around my laziness, I use xsmbrowser. I just copy the
files I want without mounting the shares, all done as a normal user. If you
want to learn the commands, run it from a console, and you can see the
different commands it uses.

Hope that is useful :)
