Thread: Samba Shares - Linux to Linux

  1. #1

    Samba Shares - Linux to Linux

    I have two systems now on my network running Mandrake Linux 8.1. *The first system (my server) has been running Linux for a few months now. *I have a Samba (file) share set up on this server. *I am able to access this share without any problems from my Laptop running Windows.

    What I need to know is how I'm supposed to access this share from my other Linux computer? *I did a quick search here and didn't come across anything that looked related to my problem.

    'smbmount' if you want to mount a drive and be able to read it as though it were actually a part of your own computer, or 'smbclient' if you'd prefer an ftp-like interface to the other computer (bad )

    I think you can also put something in your fstab and your box would mount the smb share as part of your system...

    smbmount did the trick. Thanks!

    I'm going to look into adding to the fstab.

    When adding to fstab, remember to use the 'smbfs' filesystem.
