hi!
i want to see a movie that is in a share in my lan, so i mount it. But then when i tried to see it with mplayer, i get the error "file not found". I put "ls" and it is right there. And when i tried to copy it into my hd, i get the error "cp: cannot open `foo.avi' for reading: Permission denied".

What can i do?

Thx in advance

you very well might need root to copy things from a share to your personal space (my computer seems to need root for me). so:

Code:

su -
cp /mnt/share/movies/foo.avi /home/foo/movies

But i forgott to say, that i am root

i tried with smbclient and it works! I don't understand though, why doesn't it work with cp eventhough i'm root...
But thx anyway

maybe windows and linux were never intended by god to coexist...

I think it was a lesser being that make that decision....

Code:

"Where do you want to go today?"

C&#58;\>Linux

internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C&#58;\>

heh

Code:

$Windows
Are you sure?
&#91;Y or N&#93;&#58; Y
Okay, it's your funeral...
Booting up windows ............
"Where would you like to go today?"
C&#58;>Linux
Linux&#58; command not found
C&#58;>%$#^!!!!
%$3^!!!!&#58; command not found
