Steps for accessing network files in wine application.

I have done enough research online but did not get success after more than 48 hours. Finally I found solutions....

steps for getting network share in wine - I use it mainly for dreamweaver

1) start termainal. login as root

su -l root

2) suppose you want to share server(eg 11.0.0.1) machine folder (eg htdocs). you should mount share location at "/mnt/windows". so create folder "windows" at mnt dir

mkdir /mnt/windows

3) now type

mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=yourPasswordHere //server/folder /mnt/windows

this will work. i have successfully tested !! If you still have any issue let me know.

Riiiiight, except that has nothing to do with Wine. It's one of many ways how you can use Samba. BTW you really should use credentials filename for usename & password.

credential is essential but i did not mentioned it as it would become bit complex for normal linux user....

those who are concern about more security, can surf across credential rather than specifying username and password.

thanks for your reply vitamin.

True. Lol... How much you want to bet, he'll be getting "thank you"'s
in a few months. In the past I've posted Wine how-to's in the Ubuntu
forums, simply because that's where people asked and it was a good
medium at the time.

I'm interested in seeing the responses. Thanks for the off-topic
info Igloo. I'm glad you figured it out.
