What sort of machine/OS is hosting the files you wish to access on the Amiga?

If it's a UNIX derivative, it might be better to install the Samba server stuff on that, then use the Amiga SMBFS client to access it.

If you're after more Samba info, check here (http://samba.amigaworld.net/)...

@pierre:

You can find some info in this (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22792) thread.

Btw, if you use the search function of this board you can find info on most stuff relating to Amigas.

Samba is for SMB/CIFS.  NFS is for NFS.  AmiTCP/Genesis comes with a NFS client (IIRC, the command is ch_nfsmount).

Nice to see another South Bay local here.  Let me know how the ch_nfs works.  I can bring home a Linux laptop and try if you get stuck.
