Hello, Ok, so here's my two cents worth. Deja vu. I was recently interested in recreating on winblows file system to another. Winblows tools are few and far between for this task, so I turned to our favorite os. Turns out the samba will allow you to mount a winblows share with no difficulties. The tools are smbclient, smbmount, and smbumount. First chect to see if the winblows box has a share: smbclient -L server ;where server is the name of your win box. This will give you a list of available shares. If its not there you gotta create it. Next, create a mount point directory. Something like mkdir /winblows Then use the following. smbmount "\\\\server\\share" /winblows -o username=john You can check out the list of options, but i left off the password=foobar and it prompted me for one. Also note the quotes and number of back slashes. The quotes were necessary for me because my winblows share had a space in the name. The number of back slashes has something to do with escape sequences. Someone want to clarify that for me? Anyway, once I ran this command I was able to traverse the winblows share from my linux box. Matter of fact I just go done rsyncing about 110 gig of data from one share to another. Sweet! Hope this helps. On 10:09 AM, Paul Migliorelli (+1 3 0 3 5 4 3 2 3 1 1) wrote: > Yes, you got it.
