Subj : Re: how can I get a file from windows machine To : comp.os.linux From : zhe Date : Thu Jul 08 2004 12:47 am thanks all of you for helps, today I was very busy in implementing my stuff, finally I figured out and accomplished it. I developed a procedure to dynamically get file from server, since I have to get files from multiple servers, I did not use mount statically. There are many difference between windows and linux, although it is TCL with generic feature, I still have to do some work to port it from windows to linux. I am using Red Hat linux 8.0 and found it already provide some gui configuration, it is helpful although there is some bugs there. I have to check config file after I use gui to config something. Can anybody tell me 9.0 has better gui tools or not, I am new in linux. thanks. /zhenwu Patrick00 wrote in message news:<224399c84666f71e400116535e2592d1@news.teranews.com>... > "mount -t smb //hzw/c /windows" > try "-t smbfs" if "-t smb" doesn't work .
