Samba ArticlesThe Samba client package may need to be installed if you want to mount a shared Windows folder.

rpm -ivh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/samba-client-2.2.1a-4.i386.rpm



In order to mount a share you need to create an empty directory for the contents of the share. To do this type the following:

mkdir /home/shared/Winbox

and then this to mount the share (cmd line might be wrapped onto following line)

mount -t smbfs -o username=windows_user,password=password //winbox/share /home/shared/Winbox


You can also use Webmin to mount a shared Windows folder.
