Windows Share

#1 Post by Carlosinfl »

I just got Debian up and running and is great. I would love to know how I can access files on a share drive on a NTFS partition on another machine.

\\headh\test is the path that all other Windows machine map the share folder from. The IP for the Windows machine is 192.168.1.100 and my Debian machine is 192.168.1.101.

I don't know if I have SAMBA installed and or how to set this up. Can you guys give me a hand?

Thanks.

You may be able to just use smbclient and/or smbfs.

Do a package search for smb and you will get lots of packages.
I'm not certain if you need the whole Samba package or not.

You can also check out Synaptic for any of those packages and install them from them from within synaptic.

I don't use synaptic, just APT but I guess that would be the same thing, right?

What do I search for specifically or does anyone know specifically what I will need to mount a NTFS share on my Debian box?

is it installed? it depends on the config youve chosen ;) try apt-get it. if its there youll know :) (or just try #: locate smbmount )

whole package is named samba.
it contains smbmount which allows you to mount ntfs shares (or any shares within your system fs support)

i dont remember correct syntax but its really simple like:
smbmount 'share' 'mountpoint'

personally i use komba2 package (GUI frontend for samba). it allows you to mount/dismount and check status of pdc/smb-host, clients and their shares. try it if you'd like :)

so: apt-get install samba will be good enough for starters :)
basic config for the smb.conf settings is in the manual so try look at it for a moment. it takes about 5mins or less to set it up for the share you want...
