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?

Should be able to as long as your kernel supports smbfs. I do not
remember if FBSD has support for smbfs by default.

The man page says only Linux smbfs is supported... ???
Maybe I should try :))
