I thought smb was the only one that worked on a Windows/ Linux setup?
I'm sorry if i didnt make this very clear.
I'm running Mandrake 9 as a client to a Windows NT network.
I could browse with samba but couldn't copy to or from the NT volumes before i
mounted them (using the wizard type thingee in the Mandrake control center>
networking)
Should i have been able to?
(is that a definate NO Col? It seems weird that i could browse but not copy)
That depends completely on the application you were using to "browse".
Recent versions of konq will let you copy, I'm pretty sure, but maybe
(if that was what you were using) there was a bug in your version...
either way, it's irrelevant / application specific - if you want to be
able to "browse" without having to mount it, you could try a different
application (TkSmb for example) - but remember all these really do is
just mount it in the background for you without you seeing (ok, so I
think it acutally uses "smbclient" as the back end, but you get my
point). What you're talking about is problems with a specific
application(s), not samba. Whether you "should" be able to or not
depends completely on the application, and version of that application.
Cheers,
