===Connecting to a Linux SMB Server from a Linux Client===
There are many ways that a Linux client can connect to an SMB server.
#The third way is to use the "smbclient" command in a terminal window.
#*At the command prompt enter the following:
#*Now try the following:
#*From the "Places" menu at the top of your screen, select "Network" and wait until the network scan completes. Then click on the "Windows Network" and then click the "File" menu and select "Connect to Server", change the service type to "Windows Share" and input matrix.senecac.on.ca for the server, your username for the ShareName and UserName fields. Then click the Connect button. You should now be able to browse your Matrix files.
#The second way is to use a web browser with support for the SMB protocol such as Konqueror.
#*If Konqueror is not installed then install it with the command: 'yum install kdebase'.
#*Start Konqueror, the web/file browser, and in the Location edit box enter the following: 'smb://matrix/xxxxxx'. Where xxxxxx is your Matrix username.
#*Login to your Matrix account. Konqueror should open a window of your Matrix home directory.
#*Use the mouse to drag and drop files to and from your Matrix account and your Fedora Linux machine.Close Konqueror.
