I'm almost positive SMB is not supported by Java and it's Windows/DOS that supports it when you're testing. I found I can list a directory on an unmounted SMB share from DOS with "dir \\server\\dirctory." Also, if you go to Samba's website, somewhere on there is a CIFS jar that provides SMB/CIFS for Java. If it were already supported, I doubt they'd be doing that. Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
