Is it possible for SME to use a network share on a Windows XP box (or a NAS device)?  My SME server only has a 6GB drive, but I have 200MB on my Windows XP box.  Can I map a drive to this share and use it for some (all) users home folders?
Thanks,
-Ken

I've not tested it, but you might have a look at the smbmount command. The manual page should provide you with the necessary details.

This is what I use when I want get something with FTP from my XP pc behind my SME:

Code: [Select]
mkdir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files/test
mount -t smbfs //XPPC/Sharename /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files/test -o uid=admin


And to remove
Code: [Select]
umount /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files/test
rmdir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files/test
...
Yes, I can ask more questions then you can answer  8-)
