[Discussion] Thinking of going IMAC

[Douglas Clark]

Perhaps I am confused. You shouldn't need SAMBA on ECS to connect to SAMBA on Linux. 
SAMBA is designed to allow SMB type messages, i.e. file and print services, to be processed on 
LINUX. File and print services (SMB messages ) are already built into ECS. As long as you are 
NOT using domain authentication on Windows, you should be able to connect ECS file and print 
services to either a Windows machine or a LINUX machine running SAMBA.

The OS/2 product FTPIFS is an ftp client which acts as an installable file system - meaning you 
can map an ftp server as a drive letter on ECS, which means you can use any normal ECS 
application to edit, view, etc files on an FTP server, just as you would a local file. I have used this 
with LINUX, and it should work with iMAC.
