MANDRAKE/WINDOWS FILE SHARING and HARD DRIVE SHARING???????????

[cormegaqbc]

Hi

Is there anyway to share files between windows me and mandrake linux? if so, what protocols do i use, how do i set it up????

And the other thing is, how do i get linux to see my other attached hard drive. I have two, the linux boot one and another one for storage. I have a dual boot system and I can boot to win2k or linux. Win2k seems to detect the attached second Hard Drive but not how do I let mandrake linux detect it to?

It's already there, and mounted.
Look in the /mnt folder.
It's probably called Win_drv or something.
All files can be shared.
One exception, if it's NTFS, you may NOT be able to see it.

Also how do you map a drive in Mandrake 8 from a windows machine on a network? Thanks in Advance.

if you have Samba installed, you can use the "smbclient" utility to access your windows shares, the simple syntax is:

smbclient //server/share

you might also need to send the "-U username" arguement. to mount a SMB filesystem, you need to use "smbmount" or "mount -t smbfs"(this command only calls smbmount, though)....or you could play with sharity-light, but I haven't found a more buggy program, at least on Solaris.

errr....to serve files from your GNU/Linux box, make sure samba is installed and starting in your rc scripts, then configure it.
