huh ?? what does the win2k need to do ??
cost is zero
time is a few minutes to few days to get it working
depending on the phase of the moon
if the win2k need to write to linux:/home/roy
than linux needs to have samba configured
if linux needs to read win2k files, than linux needs to have
ntfs enabled in the kernel
- but do NOT use linux to erase ntfs files unless you're
a gambler
if you want linux to nfs mount windoze
linux# mount windoze:\\C /mnt/windoze
and do as you want with the box except for erasing ntfs files
if you want windoze to read/write files in linux:/home/roy,
configure linux:/etc/exports to export /home/roy
and start up nfs on linux
windoze would need to network map linux:/home/roy to Z:
or whatever you call it
drag and drop as you feel like on your windoze box
lot more fun stuff to do with windoze and linux ...
- no additional code/apps
