| 1429211 | 2016-11-26 03:03:00 | Samba for Linux Is Samba easy enough to use for a novice or is it to complicated? I would like to use it to add files and delete fles on a vortexbox installation having just bought a 2nd hand Antipodes media server with 4tb hdd. Would this be the easiest way to do this with say ubuntu or something easier on a windows platform perhaps |

| 1429212 | 2016-11-26 04:31:00 | Most Linux distros automatically have a samba client installed by default. So, yeah, should be no problems connecting to Windows shared folders, etc. You should be able to 'see' any shares by browsing from a file manager just like in Windows. | Rod J (451) | ||
| 1429213 | 2016-11-26 05:13:00 | I've always just done: mount -t smbfs -o username=bob,password=S3cr3t //ip.ad.dr.es/sharename /mountpoint |

| 1429214 | 2016-11-26 21:21:00 | Thanks I can access music files from my Anttipodes music streamer in both windows and Ubuntu moved 95gb of 1 artist to a 1.5tb hdd. took 8 hours using Ubuntu,which I will probable delete. What I can't seem to be able to add music folders to Antiopdes in vortexbox with either Linux or windows, can see the folders in windows or linux and will play in the pc but not in Antipodes. Not showing in squeeze control android or Cantata in windows or linux. There was some instructions in Antiopdes help files that mentioned samba so I could access those lost files there sorry if it all sounds muddled! |
