I am trying to set up a Windows Share to test it, but i seem to fail.
networking in Windows: foam at mouth, fire and brimbstone.
Example? I open network center and click on connect. It then opens a pop-up and says: please open the network center. I open it, i click on connect, it opens a pop-up ... Hurray.
That, btw, is my main problem. Most Gnu/Linux docus explains in detail how to use the clients, but are silent when it comes to Windows. Windows docu itself is the way that it is.
Anyway:
What about pyneighborhood ?
antiX comes with it. I searched at
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samba_Client ... mount.cifs and to me it looks like a gui frontent to smbclient of mount.cifs (or both? I don't know).
I recall that bugsbunny wrote a lot about samba.
Also about connecting easily, perhaps with smbclient, without the hazzle of setting up samba.
Last one: If it was me i wouldn't care about that. It doesn't look like that many would use WindowsShare at all, and the ones who do should be able to figure it out themselves.
For me filezilla from Gnu/Linux and filezilla-server at Windows is a poor man's but easy workaround (only possible if we talk about small data, sure).
PS: Don't get me wrong. I am at it and willing to test as much as possible, but my Windows-foo is close to non-existent.
