He is running KDE In any case fish is just a wrapper for ssh and other file managers can access remote servers with ssh (I believe nautilus can do it). As for samba I should have mentioned that before he can browse with samba he should add samba users. with 'smbpasswd -a user' where user is a user whose home directory you wish to share, then restart samba. For more complicated samba sharing I recommend setting up with samba with KDE Control Centre>Network>Samba which in 2006 seems to be in the standard install instead of the separate plugin in 2005. Alternatively use webmin to configure samba. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
