samba - Jun 2011 - Accessing directory in UNIX from Windows Platform!

Hi Mike,
            Greeting for the day!

Just wanted to know the steps involved in Configuring SAMBA server
with the UNIX Server.

My requirement:

1. There are files in the directory of an UNIX Server

2. Need to access those files from the Windows Platform.

My queries on SAMBA:

1. How the link ( kind of URL ) to those files in SAMBA Server looks like?

2. Can we have access to the files in just a Click of that URL?


YOUR HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks,
Kanagaraj S

Yes. Read the docs and potential values for the security parameter in smb.conf.
