I've got dsl on one machine, and windows 2000 on another, both on a network. I can connect to the win2000, via smbclient \\machinename\sharename -U username. I can move around via the command line. Coping files from win2000 to dsl fails, using get. I enter get filename.ext, result is "error opening local file filename.ext". If I enter get *.ext, result is "nt_status_object_name_invalid open remote file \temp\*.ext".

I know linux can't write to a ntfs partition, but it can read/copy from. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like this is a local problem.. ie. on your DSL machine.  Make sure you have write permissions on wherever you are saving the file to (and enough space).

Doesn't look like it accepts wildcards, so it attemps to find that file, which doesn't exist.

This doesn't have to do with your problem, unless you're trying to save the file to a ntfs partition.  Note that your statement in general is wrong - linux can write to ntfs - but DSL by default only has read capability.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Please forgive my ignorance. I'm a Linux newbie. The only area I'm having a tough time figuring out is network sharing. Once I get smbclient figured out, then I'll work on smbserver.

I just assumed that "get" would copy the file to my dsl home ramdisk folder. If I just type "get filename.ext", where is dsl attempting to copy it? If I want "filename.ext" copied into the dsl home ramdisk folder, what would the command be?

I suppose you could "cd ~" before running smbclient or try "get file.ext <save_to_this>"

But personally I prefer smbmount via lineighborhood.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I took your suggestion and used samba server, and mounted the share. With Midnight Commander I can access all of the win2000 shared folders. Next question. How do I get the win200 to access all the dsl shared folders? I don't see an obvious way to change the dsl workgroup name, so win2000 can see it in "My Network Places".
