General Guidance - "Drive Mapping"

General Guidance - "Drive Mapping"

[Linovitz, Scott]

I'm looking for general guidance on the following and any help is much
appreciated.

My Situation
-------------------
I have two PC's. PC #1 is running WinXP Pro and PC #2 is running RedHat 9.

Goal
-------
I have a "shared" folder on PC #1 that I would like to "map" (mount) on PC
#2.

Question
-------------
Which linux service(s) and/or application(s) handle this type of file
sharing? Is it the Samba service and if so is this the only method to "map"
(mount) a drive on PC#2 from PC#1?


Thanks
Scott

On the Linux side, the two common ways to mount remote drives are with 
Samba and with NFS. Linux also supports old-style Macintosh sharing via 
netatalk. Your limitation is more likely to be on the Windows side than the 
Linux side.

Usually, Windows supports only SMB (Samba, that is), but I imagine (though 
I don't know ... this is a Linux list, not a Windows list) there *might* be 
add-in NFS servers available for Windows. You can do SMB in userspace with 
smbclient (clumsy, comparatively speaking) or in kernelspace if you compile 
your kernel to support smbfs filesystems (smooth).
