Fellow list readers -
I am running F7 on an x86_64 box, and have an application (Pro/E) that
i am using for some design work. My work group has a windows share
that i need to save my work to, and was wondering what the easiest
method is to make a samba share show up in the linux filesystem so
that it will show up in the application?
Any ideas would be appreciated
Michael
Hi Michael,
Not sure if this works for you, but on a F7 machine, when I had to
connect to one of my internal networks, I just used Places -> Connect to
sever
-> Set the service type as windows share
-> Entered the server information
-> Username / domain / etc.
And I let the system do all the figuring out bit. It sure did connect
and also saved it as a bookmark. So now the next time I connect to the
network, this link is all figured out and ready to use :-)
later,
Rogue
p.s. I know this might have sounded like a silly suggestion, but the
beauty of this abstraction model is that tomorrow the Fedora developers
could very well change the underlying protocols / libraries and I
wouldn't have to mess around with configurations, etc to get things
working! :-)
