Can I configure wine to access a windows NTFS samba share as a drive letter (mounted as type SMBFS)?
Tell your OS to map the network drive for you and then in "wine configuration/Drivers" create a new drive pointing to that folder. The way I do it on my linux box in fstab I have this: //Net/TEMP /media/local/ cifs noperm,username=me,password=secret,nounix,rw 0 0 The nounix is there so that cifs does not try to set all sorts of parameters on the share. Regards.
So does that mean NTFS shares can be recognized in wine if mounted as CIFS? What about if mounted as SMBFS?
For what I know SMBFS is the old way of doing things ("smbfs has not been maintained in the last few years" (http://www.samba.org/samba/smbfs/)) so I would suggest using CIFS. Now what the filesystem is on the server that is sharing it does not rely matter as long as you have permission to access it (see Username and Password in my example). The network protocol will do the rest. Regards
