Hallo Helmut,

Sorry, I accidentally sent the previous reply to your private address
only! And for some strange reason, I didn't get a copy of this
message in my inbox, I just found it in the archive...

The problem is: I'm not the administrator of the server, so I can't
create shares. But as I wrote in my original mail: Connecting to
this subdirectory of this share is possible through GNOME - doesn't
that use samba?
