Subject:   how to copy from windows to unix
Message-ID:  <200105161446.f4GEkbS08308@d.tracker>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have samba installed, and I have my windows laptop working
and printing with FreeBSD. 

I can copy from windows to unix from my windows machine,
but for the life-of-me I can not seem to copy back and forth
while stationed at the unix box.

I have read man smbclient and attempted to see examples on the
net.  The terminology throws me. 

the only name I know is my laptop name which is, "laptop"

this is what "$ smbclient -L //laptop" gets me;

smbclient -L //laptop
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

        ---------            -------
        WORKGROUP            LAPTOP

My laptop is actually at 192.168.1.2

There are command I see examples of such as;

smbclient //server/service

Even if I could connect to the windows box from unix, I havn't
seen any examples of how to copy files.
I've looked in the traditional web spots but most samba docs
seem to show setup for going as far as I have -  that is
printing, and windows->unix copying from windows.

Any pointer would be helpful.  Thanks.
