use Samba Client to connect to Network Shared Folders

 

On RHEL images:

If  Alt+F2   smb://172.18.24.115 is not working…

Restart samba server   once again:

/etc/init.d/smb stop

/etc/init.d/smb start

/etc/init.d/smb status

Command to use:

smbclient   //172.18.24.115/Software –U ARL

Password: Ness1234

Will open  smb: \> prompt  . 

If you see the smb:\> prompt, you have successfully logged in. Once you are logged in, type “help” for a list of commands. If you wish to browse the contents of your home directory, replace sharename with your username. If the -U switch is not used, the username of the current user is passed to the Samba server.

Use   “cd “  to  change  to the  directory where you have  the software,  and  do  “get    <software> “  . It will get downloaded on to your linux machine.

To exit smbclient, type exit at the smb:\> prompt.
