thanks, Jhair, but if the shared dierctory name isn't a short "C$" then I failed to see it by using "smbclient -NL //hostname", for exp. I have 2 shared folders, one is "longgggggggggger" and the other is "short", then the result of "smbclient -NL //hostname" will only display "short" directory, but the "longgggggggggger" directory name cannot be seen on the list. <div> On 8/14/06, Jhair Tocancipa Triana <<a href="mailto:jhair.tocancipa@gmail.com">jhair.tocancipa@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Chien-Kuo Su writes: > hi, all > I would like to know if there is any way possible to make > `smbclient' support directory names which is longer than 12 > characters to be visible ? smbclient on Dapper doesn't have any problems displaying directory names longer than 12 characters: $ smbclient //hostname/C$ -U username%password -c dir | grep Documents Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Documents and Settings D 0 Wed Aug 25 14:55:11 2004 -- --Jhair -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div>
