Hi everyone, First of all: I am not a member of this list, so any message you send to the list(regarding this subject), please send them to me too. When I do smbclient //somemachine/someshare -U someusername and then enter the correct password (Windows), then I get a smbclient prompt. If then do ls, a directory listing is given. So far, everything is ok. Now, I cd two directories down the tree, and then do ls in that directory. In this state all smbclient gives me is a carrot to indicate that it's busy. So, I don't get any timeout message or other error and I also don't get any valid results. So, the question is: what's wrong? I am on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE smbclient version:Version 3.0.14a Windows XP Professional with SP2 I also tried with Konqueror via smb://etc., but I got the same resutls. I actually shared them on Windows, so there's no shares of the sort C$ or D$ anymore(well, actually they still exist, but I don't use them in either client). So, the goal is to be able to read files that exist on the Windows machine on the FreeBSD machine. Regards, Ron
