Connecting from a linux server to a windows server?

Postby Reynaldo » Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:57 am

Noob question I know, but what/how do you use to a windows/netware server using linux tools?

Say I want to get to /share on 10.10.1.0. Generally from a box I'd just use start/run \\10.10.1.0 then authenticate.

Having trouble finding a similar way in yast or terminal....

If the shared folder is on your windows computer and your trying to open it on your linux box try

mount //10.10.1.0/share -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD

you can leave off the ,password=PASSWORD if you want to manually type in the password.

Depending on the version of the OS your using you will either need to make sure cifs or smbfs are installed, but generally they are.

I guess we don't have those installed on the netware box (well it looks like cifs was but not letting us through)

had to end up using

ncpmount -A 10.10.1.0 -S servername etc etc and got it mounted.

Thanks for getting me on the right track on the command line though =)

lol if I read more closely and noticed netware it would have helped.
