Access Windows shares from KDE

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2005-11-14 17:16. Communications | Debian Support

So you want to open files stored on a windows file server or on a windows share with Debian KDE. Here is how you do it.

1) Install samba and samba client

apt-get install samba smbclient

2) KDESTART -> RUN -> smb://192.168.60.226
(or what ever the ip address of the server your wanting to share from is..I suppose this could be a NETBIOS name if your dns was working properly)

3) HAVE FUN WITH THAT

Yes...actually you can get to your shares from KDE's Konqueror just type
smb://computer-name
and it will show you the shares on that machine. very handy for transferring files.
Also, try a different file manager called Krusader. It is a handy two-pane file manager (remember norton commanter in DOS!)
apt-get install krusader
