Hi,
I just installed openSuse 11.2 on my laptop and I’m trying to access my other Ubuntu PC. I’ve already shared a folder “Pictures” in that PC and I was able to access it when I was running Ubuntu on my laptop.
I’ve also installed Samba and Samba Client. Please guide me to access the network computer and its shared folder
Regards,
Anant
Accessing another computer can be done in a myriad of ways (e.g. ftp, telnet, ssh, http, ntp, nfs, …). That is where all the server and client protocols/software is made for. But it seems that you are after access of mass storage on another system. In Unix/Linux this is done using NFS. On one system (the nfs-server) you ‘export a directory’, on another system (the nfs-client) you mount such a directory somewhere in your directory tree like any other mount.
In YaST > Network services you will find the tools for doing this. Can of course also be done in the time honoured way of the CLI. The keywords (use the man pages) are then: /etc/export, /etc/fstab, mount.
SAMBA is software to serve M$ systems. As SAMBA has the client as well as the server functions I think it is possible to use SAMBA between Linux systems. What a horrible idea :\
Well I just trying to see the workgroup and under that all the computers that are in my network, because I’m able to do same with Wbuntu 9.10
