Although the main purpose of running a samba server is to share files on a Windows server, you can also install a Samba client on another Linux machine to share files as well. This lab will demonstrate how to setup a Samba client on your '''host''' machine, mount the samba share on a directory, and access files on the remote Linux machine ('''vm2''').

#When you are finished close the connection.
=== Using 'Mounting a Remote Linux Volume (mount -t cifs' ) ===
When performing the NFS lab, one of the initial purpose of using NFS was allowing network shares to mount remote volumes as opposed to using '''sftp''' (''get'' and ''put'' commands). This section will demonstrate how to '''mount a remote Linux volume''' as a directory for the client Linux server.
