I have searched and tinkered all day trying to get a Samba server: 1. Running on my Linux box 2. Recognized from my Windows desktop I store all my development files on Debian as it's LAMP setup...and hitherto I would copy the files back and forth using FTP or WinSCP, etc... I just finally got the Windows system to recognize the user by invoking this command: <code>C:\> net use m: \\servername\service</code> Now in my Windows I have an additional drive "M" which is accessible through Explorer...perfect. :) Cheers, Alex Absolutely killer.
