I believe so. (Not a windows or samba expert). AFAIK you can only mount what windows considers a share.

mounting windows shares
i googled but couldn't find anything appropriate ... when i try: mount -t smbfs -o username,password,and rw options //windblowsserver/backup/system\ products/ mount chokes on the windblows directory system products . i assume this is b/c of the space in the directory name. what should i do so i can mount this windblows share? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
