| Quote (davec51 @ Jan. 26 2007,23:04) | I wonder if someone could point me toward a how-to for the smbclient. I have a Windows XP machine. I want to access my files on it (and I hope the printer) from my old DSL machine. I'm not knowledgeable enough to use the instructions in the DSL Help screen.
When I use the terminal as root and enter "smbtree" I see the hard drive on the XP machine. Then what? When I access the smbclient from the GUI I get a form with "Domain," "Machine," "Share," "User Name," and "Password." What could possibly be my user name and password for this purpose? Is the network name my domain name?
You see I'm confused. I'll be content, too, if someone tells me I'm just not sophisticated enough for DSL, and I'll go elsewhere.
Thanks in advance. |
from terminal :
- to see windows machine simply use >smbtree
- to connect the d hdd use >smbclient //COMPUTERNAME/folder -U username
>smbclient //JACK/E$ -U dsl
>password : put your password
-This will connect to E:/ on JACK machine by using "dsl" as your username
-Use "smb>dir" to browse file"smb>get" to copy file from & "smb>put" to move file to.
From GUI
Domain : IP address of windows machine ex: 192.168.0.25
Machine : Windows machine name ex: JACK
Share : Shared folder ex: E$
Username : your username ex: root
Password : your root password
Hope this help..
