Copy files with Mint terminal from Windows computer
by WayCon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RX46)
Hello,
I am networked with a computer running on Windows and would like to back up a few files onto my Mint machine with terminal. I will probably write a script for it later. On my Mint desktop I have a folder for the Windows machine's c:\ that is called:
c on owner-5896b39c5
When I click on it, Nemo shows its address as:
smb://owner-5896b39c5/c/
How would I, say, list on terminal the contents of:
smb://owner-5896b39c5/c/BUFiles
I can already read and write to files in this directory with LibreOffice from my Mint machine.
I imagine if I can do something as simple as list the contents of that directory, I will be able to copy files easily. I haven't been able to find on the net an answer to this elementary question.
I thank you for your time.
