Hi, I guess I responded directly to you. Sorry, I meant to respond to the list.
I was under the impression you had mounted the PC drive. One way to mount it is: mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //computer/share /mnt/point Then /dir1 = /mnt/point. Of course, if /mnt/point is made available through Samba, then you can use Windoze Explorer. I hope this helps. Tian-xiong Lu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote*: > >Hi, thanks. > >but /dir1 is on the PC.
