[jcifs] Accessing a local file using SmbFile

[Agnes]

Hi,

Thanks of your prompt help!

I've got the code part already.

As for the domain setting and share, it's the domain of my AIX machine, 
and I don't think it's on an NT domain.  Also, how to specify a share on 
AIX without having to install Samba?

Thanks!
Agnes

It's the domain of my AIX machine, and I don't think it's on an NT 
domain.  Also, how to specify a share on AIX without having to install
