Help : mount NT share for ftp access though linux machine

Post by Eric Grepp » Sun, 05 Dec 1999 04:00:00



I currently have a linux machine acting as a firewall an performing IP Masq.
I have a cable modem access and everthing seems to be working.

I have a NT server behind the firewall which I am using for as a PDC, file,
and print server.  I want to be able to ftp to and from a share on my NT
box.

The NT machine is on a private network so I wound need to Mount the share to
my linux box.

Can someone offer any advise as to if this can be done and maybe even lend a
little help in making it a reality.

Thanks,
Eric

Sounds like a job for 'smbmount'.  Try running /usr/bin/smbmount, it
will give you all the options you need to make it work (asuming you
have SAMBA installed).  Basically what it will do is mount the NT share
directory on your Linux box (so you need to have a directory on your
Linux system..like say /nt_share.  And then once it is mounted as that
directory you can access it from the Internet.  I have only used this
tool a few times, so i really can't give you a walkthrough of the
process, but if you type the command and read thru the instructions
(Although cryptic) you will eventually get it.  You may also find the
SMB 'How To' helpful - http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html.

Good Luck

1. Samba, Mounting W95/NT shares on linux machines

Is it possible to mount a share on a Windows/95/NT machine on the linux
machine as part of the file system as oppsed to using smbclient ?

If so what do you have to do to achive this ?

What's the point of smbfs in the kernel ?  Is it for this purpose ?

If you can could you supply an example usage of the mount command to mount it
?

(ie. an NFS mount command: mount latop:/pub /mnt -t nfs)

I have built my 2.0.0 kernel with smbfs support and /proc/filesystem reports
that it is present.

Where is the documentation regarding this ? (assume what I am thinking is
possible..)
