@ErrethAkbe:

You should consider doing it the other way around using smbfs to mount your pcs shares on your Amiga as normal volumes instead, which imho is a much more practical solution, and forget about running the Amiga as a samba server.

Smbfs also consists of just one executable file without any direct installation needed and has good performance - this in contrast with samba which is an arse to configure and performs about as good as a retarded elk.

Hi Patrik,

You're right! I downloaded SMBFS and it works quite well. Beware, though; it limits the maximum number of characters in a filename and if you go over, weird things happen.

Still, this tool is an excellent addition to my arsenal.
