Re: Accessing a windows xp pro shared folder from a linux machine

[Patrick Sohn-Griffus <pesohngr@xxxxxxx>]

For an SSH client, I highly recommend PuTTY, available from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Nothing else even comes close.

As to accessing windows shares from linux, I don't know the specifics off the top of my head, but it's not that hard. A quick google search will turn up more information than you'll ever need.

Hello,

 

I have a machine I just barely installed Linux on and just figured out how to get it on the network. Now I need to access some files on a windows machine on our lab subnet. I’m not even sure which program would support this. I take it that Samba will allow windows machines to access directories on the Linux machine, but not necessarily a windows directory from a Linux machine. Any tips on where to look on how to set this up?

 

Also, does anyone know of a good ssh2 windows client that is free or maybe cheap?

 

Have a good day!
