Samba Configuration

[sayantan]

Hi folks...

I have successfully configured file sharing between two systems using samba... One system runs on RH 9 whereas other runs on Win XP pro...
I can successfully see the shered files of linux on my windows machime... Also i can see all the shared files of windows on my linux machine, when i login in GUI mode...

Now my question is, "Is there any way to use the shared files of windows macine in text mode ( when i am in shell )?"

need some advice...

thnx in advance...

mount the samba share from your windows box on your linuc machine and then simply cd to that directory

What are the sequence of commands needed to mount it?

Well, being as you didn't say your name was Fred......


mkdir /mnt/newdirname

mount -t smbfs //windowsmachinename/sharename /mnt/newdirname -o username=yourwindowsusername

it will prompt for you windows user password.

instead of smbfs you can also use cifs.
