On an old system I ran several years ago I had a way of copying, via telnet, a file from the Linux environment to the PC Environment.  I think it used Samba. There was a folder on a windows machine that was fully exposed (shared). I think it was exposed using NFS but I might have run up Samba on that system. Lets call the folder \\Server\temp and it is shared simply. It can be seen by all PC's on the network.

 

On the Linux system I used a command like

cp path_to_linux_file.txt  /mnt/smb/Server/temp/edittemp.txt

to copy it to the Servermachine; and

cp  /mnt/smb/Server/temp/edittemp.txt path_to_linux_file.txt 

to copy it back.

 

Can I do the same thing in unRaid? and if so can some one point me in the right direction as to how to set that up.  I suspect I need to mount something and that Samba must be running, but in Linux I generally "Blank Stare" a lot.

Or, you can just create a mount point (an empty directory)

 

mkdir /var/joe

 

Then mount the remote server share on it

smbmount //server/share /var/joe

 

Then, you can browse /var/joe to read or write files on the remote server.

 

When done, un-mount the remote server

umount /var/joe

and you are back to how you were.
