Title: Map network drive.
Post by: kokomi on July 20, 2005, 08:23:21 AM

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.
