samba - May 2007 - Simple Question

Here is my problem

I want to map a drive on my XP  to my directory file system on a Solaris  box.

Is this something that Samba will help me do? 

Here is the real business problem

I have an application that looks for files in a folder ... Instead of moving
them from Unix to PC to that folder  via ftp
I want the application to look in a folder on the Unix server. 

Thank you

Ari:

Yes, but there are issue you need to address -

Is samba up and running on your Sun system?  Are you part of a domain?
Can you open up network neighborhood and browse to the share?

You need to give us more info -


Be well,


Michael
