simple samba question

[Jason Berendsen]

Our Windows team has a need to share data with an HP-UX server. I know samba allows data resident to the HP-UX server to be shared with windows clients, but can it be done the other way around. Can a Windows server allow the HP-UX client to it's resident data? As far as I know samba doesn't allow this. If this isn't allowed does anyone know of any other product that has this functionality?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi,
Yes it can be done, you use cifsclient on the HPUX side...

All the best

Windows with no additional setup will let your hpux box use its share.

cifslogin command can include both the user id and password for the windows server.

See this doc for command options and examples.

The HP CIFS Client runs on HP-UX and can mount a Windows (or any SMB) share. It's free, and fully supported by the RC, so you might as well try it. Go here:

The documentation is here:
