Connecting To CIF's Share

Carlwill · 2010-11-01 16:24:09

I know that if I want to have a share that is accessible by Windows clients, I will need to download and install Samba but I don't want my desktop / workstation PC to be a Windows share for CIF's. I would like the ability to however connect to a machine running a CIF's / Windows share. I don't think I need 'Samba' installed for this, correct? Does anyone know what packages I specifically would need in order to be able to connect to a open Windows share from my Arch Linux PC?

I have the following installed:

[carlos@tuna ~]$ sudo pacman -Qs samba
local/gnome-vfs 2.24.4-1
    The GNOME Virtual File System
local/nautilus-share 0.7.2-5
    Share files through Samba with Nautilus
local/samba 3.5.5-1
    Tools to access a server's filespace and printers via SMB

Since mount.cifs is used to mount CIFS share, you need smbclient package.

Thanks. I realized I need smbclient as well as gvf-smb package too for Nautilus / Gnome file browsing.
