wine users - Aug 2009 - Steps for accessing network files in wine application

Tested ok

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....  :D

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. :)

Thank you fat :)
