Connecting Snow Leopard 10.6.4 to a Linux shared folder using Samba
- by Vittorio Vittori
Hi, I'm trying to connect to a web server running on Linux CentOS 5.5 where I've shared a folder. I'm trying to connect to the directory with Snow Leopart 10.6.4 client without success.
On CentOS I've started the Samba service and a Samba user with his password and then I've tried to connect to the server with the command smb://10.0.0.7 to reach the IP of the machine and then writing the username and password I've previously created.
The server returns me the list of the shared folders with the leopard specific browser, when I click to the folder I want the browser returns this error (translated from Italian):
Leopard message:
Connection failed
There was an error on connecting to "smb://10.0.0.7". Please verify the name or the IP of the server, and try again.
How can I do to solve the connection problem?
