Hi,
at my work they have a funny setup:
my home folder is a subfolder to a share, as such:
\\server\share\subfolder
Now I have full permissions to the subfolder, but no permissions to share.
From windows I can connect to the VPN of my work place, type the above address into any address field, and voila: I see the contents of my home folder.
In Linux (using Ubuntu) however, I can't figure out how to connect directly to the subfolder. Every attempt I can think of keeps returning "Access denied", because I don't have permission to view the share.
Any help on how to connect to the subfolder would be greatly appreciated :)
Cheers, Born2Smile
