I recommend using NFS server in Windows to serve the share to the Linux client and Linux will be fine. Just mount it somewhere on your Linux directory tree using NFS. Much easier than fiddling around with Samba. Lots of free Windows NFS server sw out there and even comes as part of certain windows versionns. Have a google.

Boyer Sent: 05 July 2016 19:33 To: blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Sharing files between Linux and Windows I'm going to set up a folder called c:\share on my Windows machine. I want to set up a device on my Linux machine which is connected with this folder over my LAN. I know that this can be done, because I had something similar at one time. However, i'm not certain how to do it again. If I remember, it just took an entry in fstab and an entry in /dev. Thanks. John -- John J. Boyer; President, AbilitiesSoft, Inc.
