You can probably do the same with 'smbclient'. I imagine the desktop navigation tool is using the Samba libraries to connect, both of which should all work without any kernel support for the filesystem. Brian On Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:20:57 -0500 Chuck Noyes <vze284qe@verizon.net> wrote:
Answering my own post...
If I bring up the Java desktop and go to "Network Places" and enter "smb://Windows-hostname/share", it works - I can see the files on the Windows host.
I have no idea how this works! Nothing gets mounted - the mount command shows the windows host isn't mounted. Is this accomplished through the "magic" of Java? I can't figure out how to do this through the command line, which is what I really need to do.
I'll keep at it and see what happens.
