No need to mount anything or install samba: windows shares can be accessed using the familiar Windows syntax, only with Unix slashes rather than DOS backslashes: //server/share/path_to_file Actually you can use backslashes too, but then the filename needs to be quoted: "\\server\share\path_to_file" Good luck with the seminar!
