Hi everyone. As you can probably easily guess, I'm new to Samba. What I am trying to do is establish a very basic FTP connection between my Amiga 3000 and G3 PowerMac using Samba on the Amiga and Dave 2.1 on the Mac. I don't even know where to begin. I've spent several days digging through the Samba docs, but haven't made much progress. Any help would be greatly appeciated. First of all, does there have to be some sort of basic network connection between the 2 machines before Samba and Dave can be used? Every time I try to do this, the Mac wants to dial the modem when I try to make a TCP/IP connection. I'm using Miami 2.1 on the Amiga, and Open Transport 2.0.2 on the Mac. Second, if I want to access an Amiga hard drive partition with the Mac, would I use the smbd program for this? I am assuming the smbclient would be for the other way around. Are there any special command line parameters for smbd. I can't find any listed in the docs. Is anyone else using Samba on the Amiga to access a Macintosh through Dave 2.1? I am new to networking with Ethernet, so please overlook my ignorance about some of this. I'm trying to learn. :-) -- Steve Edford sledford@mainlink.net http://orion.mainlink.net/~sledford/
