[Samba] Samba share to access windows folders in linux.

[Divya B Sridhar]

Hi,

I just now got how to do it. It looks like we have to specify only until
CCViews rather than specifying CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev in the command
below. However, I am not sure how we can access until abcd_Linux_dev.

smbmount '//a.b.c.d/CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev' '/root/pqrs/LinuxDev' -o
username=abcd/<domain>,uid=abcd,gid=abcd

The command gives the error:
21896: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
if a complete path is given. Anyone knows how to do it? Because, I do not
want to see all the folders under CCViews, rather I want to see only those
under abcd_Linux_dev.

Thanks,
Divya.

Maybe this is stupid, but I'll take a shot at it -- have you tried without
the /<domain>?
