Hello,
After seeing all the recent posts on samba, I decided
to try an hook my old 486 with win95, up to my linux
box.
Everything seems to work except for a few unexpected
things. I'm used to the peer-to-peer win95 style
of networking where you can see evrything on both computers.
I'm connected via ethernet cards, with TCP/IP
linux =3D 192.168.0.1
win95 =3D 192.168.0.2
Question 1:
I can see my linux home directory in Win95's Network Neighborhood,
that is expected, but I can't seem to see my win95 c: drive
from the linux machine. Is this samba server only a one way street? =20
Question 2:
If I fire up Netscape on the win95 machine, I can get my
apache web page with http://192.168.0.1>
but I can't get to my ftp directory in /usr/local/ftp
with ftp://192.168.0.1>
I get no connection. Why?
Also if I ftp://lo=
calhost> on the linux machine, I'm
accepted as anonymous user, but am dumped into "/"
with no file access.
How do I get ftp access into /usr/local/ftp?
I checked Yast under user ftp, and the home directory
is shown as /usr/local/ftp. Why do I get sent to a
useless "/".
I've heard this stuff is supposed to be "easy as pie",
but I'm lucky I got this far. :-)
