How can I browse Windows from Unix? I'm using FreeBSD 4.7, Samba, and KDE3. I'd like to be able to browse also from command line. I have not found instructions on use of smbclient-win32 and do not want to use sharity. smbclien-win32 comes with and exe file and cygwin dll's - but what are you supposed to do with them, copy the dll's to system or system32 foler and just run the exec? and then what? I don't care if I sound stupid, but surely somebody could suggest where to find the information? Google was of no help. :(( Thanks, PJ
You should be able to use smbclient (command line only) it will give you an ftp style interface.

I don't do this, but, can't you just smbmount the windows share, and then browse with kde or whatever?
