 Faq Samba Quick

German Version: FaqSambaQuickDeutsch


The following step by step instructions were created to copy data from a windows-partition of a non-bootable windows system.

CAUTION: The complete filesystem of Knoppix will be shared (only recommended for recovery)

Requirements

Procedure

Set root password and switch to root:

now you create a file out of the link smb.conf:

Edit the file:

[root]
path = /
public = yes

Now you can access the complete root directory from your second computer.

The other direction: Accessing your windows shares from knoppix

now you can copy to and from /mnt/myshare, it will be forwarded to the windowsbox automatically if it doesn't work (name not found), try using the ip address of your windows box: 'mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //192.168.0.1/sharename /mnt/myshare'
