Dear zaki486,
Salam,

Use Samba.

Best Regards.

server string = samba server

workgroup = FQDN
security = share
[share]
path = /share
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes


chmod of /share 777
an a entry in dns of Linux PC(samba server)

Asaalam O Alaikum broz

i need to shift a windows nt machine running domain (that i can easily migrate to linux) but for Database i.e. Fox pro 2.0 i need to know if i can use any free available built in database like mysql or other by converting the Foxpro's .Ldf into anyother database ??

please help

i need to get rid of that Windows Nt Server and use the Linux server for the following roles:


1- Database server (now running fox 2.0)
2- Migration of data from old to the new database ?

please help out

Thanks 2 u all
