To do that I will use samba and one of it's GUI. As a second way I'll make connection using Opera web browser. Samba Samba provides file and print services for Microsoft Windows clients in local network. I have tried a few samba GUI but only one worked for me very well. But it doesn't mean it'll be the same on your computer, you should try theme yourself. Samba home page: http://www.samba.org/ Samba on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_%28software%29 SMB-Browser SMB-Browser is the one application that worked on my computer well. It's not available in Debian repositories, I have found it pre-installed with Elive 2.0 linux distribution. 1. Add Elive server address: # Elive deb http://europe.repository.elive-systems.com/ lenny main elive drivers tests efl ports multimedia games other deb http://europe.debian.elive-systems.com/ lenny main contrib non-free to repository list using a text editor as root: sux mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list 2. Next refresh package list and recive a public key: apt-get update gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv key_ID gpg --export key_ID | apt-key add - apt-get update 3. And install application: apt-get install smb-browser smb-admin 4. After that change rights for two files responsibility for mounting and unmounting shared files: chmod u+s /sbin/mount.cifs chmod u+s /sbin/umount.cifs 5.
