Accessing shares on windows machine from within Wine in linux machine
by calcat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57GR6)
I would like to reference this old post (I hope that is allowed):
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...in-wine-97121/
This asks exactly the question I need to pose. I'm asking the question again, because that post is very old, and appears to be closed?
I've been trying to figure this out for a while, doing a lot of searching, and I'm just getting stupid. I need to know, then,
"how to mount the share to a mount point...
and
how to "in [...] wine config file [...] map a path (ie the mount path) to a drive letter."
Should be simple? So then I searched how to do those things, and found many, many instructions, seeming to differ in approach. Tearing out of hair ensued.
I am able to access my Windows desktop, from my Linux laptop, using this command:
smb://masaged.local/
Some programs in Linux can't see the desktop shares. When that is the case, I use this command, when trying to access files on the desktop, in the location bar in Nautilus:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=masaged.local,share=g
(for example, I want to access the g partition on the desktop.
The problem:
I can't access anything on the desktop when I'm using a Win program in Wine. Up until now, I normally open up Nautilus, copy over, from the desktop shares, what I want to use, to the .wine folder in the C: folder, and access it that way.
That's clumsy and slow, and I'm aware that there's a better way to do this, but at this point, I am totally confused.
In the suggestion that I posted at the top, that I'm referencing, it seems simple.
If you would like to point me in the right direction, rather than explicit instructions, could you please point me to instructions on:
how to "mount the share to a mount point"
and
how to "in [...] wine config file [...] map a path (ie the mount path) to a drive letter"
Could you please point me to instructions that address this issue, that is, that are not so general that I end up going down more rabbit holes?
Thanks so very much.
