use a file off a network?
Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to use a file off a network share (smbfs) the same way that you can do in windows via the \\hostname\share\path\to\file.
I've tried doing things like:
but these just don't seem to work.Code:cat //hostname/share/path/to/file cat smbfs://hostname/share/path/to/file
Is there a way of doing this without mounting first?

If you are not able to access unmounted dirs locally under Linux, why would that be possible remotely?
