[TriLUG] Reverse Samba?

[MG]

Thanks, everyone.  It does look like I've got things reversed.  I want 
to keep the files to be operated on on the client. From looking at the 
smbclient and cifs, it looks like they do need to take up space on the 
server -  that is, they need to be moved to a Samba share, which has to 
be on the server, which is the Linux box.  This was probably so obvious 
it's transparent for more advanced users.


OTOH, I've got Samba now - very nice.
