NT and SMB client issues

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

This has nothing to do with mount smb volumes. You need to flip on uploading for your this ftpd you speak of but of course I don't know anything about this program. Start by just taking smb out of the
loop. Then get upload to work and _then_ setup the smb mount. Use the username option to smbmount if you don't want to mount as root (you might also use autofs).
