First thing you need to do -- if you haven't already -- is get comfortabl=

entering commands into the shell. Writing scripts, getting them to execu=

limited subset of what you can do with your system.
Anyway, I bet you have a Samba client running on your Linux box and a sha=

on your Win2k box. Try this from a linux command shell:
mkdir ~/mnt/
mkdir ~/mnt/myshare
su --command=3D"mount -t smbfs -o username=3D<win2kusername>,password=3D<=
win2kpass> //<win2kipaddress>/<win2ksharename> /home/<linuxusername>/mnt/=
myshare
You'll get prompted to enter the root password, since root is the only on=
e authorized
to mount filesystems. You should now be able to cd into that directory a=
nd browse/edit
your files on the Win2k server as if they were local files.
