How to save files directly on network computer?!

[MSux]

Hello dear members,

I'm a linux newbie and i run a suse 10.3 distro and i was wondering if ti's possible to save files from the net or use the torrent client (i use azureus) to save files directly on a network computer.

I have set samba up and i can see all network computers and all are accessible but how can i save files directly on them (considering i have writing permissions or full control).

For example i have tried to put in azureus at save location smb://Myworld/Public (where "Myworld" is the computer and "Public" is the folder with full access) but it says the folder does not exist, and if i want to create it. Surely it exists but somehow i don't think it's the right way to do it.

I have succeded to save in windows directly on the network computer by putting in the save location \\Myworld\Public.

PLEASE HELP!

Azureus itself might not support that particular slave, but ktorrent should as it is a kioslave also. I think perhaps it only uses one forward slash as a kio slave smb:/

Thanks for the input but no luck yet. I tried in Ktorrent and no luck. The same happens. It says there is no folder and it asks if i want to create a folder....i wonder if i click yes where it positions it.
Weird...is there no solution to this?

It has to be one since i look at linux to be very powerfull and i hate to think windows can do something and linux can't

Hey i tried another trick. It hit me when i was on a windows vista machine. Why not try to map a network drive of that shared network folder. I googled it and i found this:
Samba: HowTo Mount a CIFS Network Share [AKA Map Network Drive] in openSUSE 10.2, 10.3

Then i went on and edited my fstab file which looks like this:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/sdb2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/dm-0 /Third ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sdb4 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sdb3 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sdc5 /media/WD ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=POSIX,force 0 0
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
//192.168.0.197/Myworld/Public /root/Networkdrive cifs username=Andrei,password=#@#@,_netdev,uid=root,gid =100 0 0

Now as the tutorial said i entered the target computer ip (192.160.0.197) then i entered the computer name (Myworld) then the folder (Public) then the folder to be mounted in (/root/Networkdrive) cifs, username=?! here i don't understand what username i have to enter...the owner of the folder or the username that has access to it?! AND then it's password,_netdev (which i don't know what is does), uid=?!? root i assume?! gid=? (what's this?)

,,,,,,,,,

and lol from so many questions obviusly it didn't work. First time when i did it it worked and in My Computer it appeared the network drive but when i tried to access it said No permission.

Is it an easier way to mount a network drive so i can save directly in it?

Thanks.

go to the computer you want to write to and export folderX. Then goto your workstation and mount that folderX by NFS. Edit your fstab and add this line: ip-address-of-folderX-computer:/folderX(space)/where-you-want-to-mount-folderX)space)NFS(space)defaults(space)0(space)0

OR make it really easy...Download freenas (.085b version) burn the iso onto a cd then boot that network computer with the cd, edit settings, which involves mounting your harddrive and setting mount points, turning on nfs and cifs services, save the settings to floppy or usb and reboot. My freenas server has been running for over 2 years now. I've added bigger drives while keeping the old ones, remounted and it works fantastic. No need to put any OS on the harddrives and the cd always boots the same because there is no way to change it.

Sounds good but i can't export the folder since the computer is not really a computer. I have a Western Digital Mybook World edition II external HDD which has in a way it's own mind It has only an ethernet infrastructure and i can see it on my smb. So how can i export it?

Hehe easy isn't so easy, but i hope you understand my position. That thing is a box (pretty big one) with only ethernet and an ip attached to it. Tha's pretty much it.

If the only connection to it is an ethernet jack then you must have the ability to open a browser, point it to the ip of the hard drive and change/modify settings. Once you do that you should be able to set the shares (if smb) or export folder (if NFS).

WOW that's quick. It took me 2 days to figure it out (accesing the hdd via a browser through it's ip). It's manual didn't say this.

Anyway as i attached the pics, it's control doesn't have anything related to exporting a folder or anything close to this. All related it simply to create remove and edit the shared folders, aka make, remove, and share.
