Samba will also let you connect to Windows PC's, you can mount the remote share on a local mount point. mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //computer/share /mountpoint if you have smbfs compiled in, and samba properly installed Take a look at the smbmount man page. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
