I am trying to copy a (.html) file from a Windows XP Professional shared folder onto a server running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS.
As it's a shared folder the usual 'wget' doesn't seem to work. I suspect I'm using the wrong address style completely.
I have tried:
- http://192.168.1.66/SharedFolder/Data.html
- //192.168.1.66/SharedFolder/Data.html
- smb://192.168.1.66/SharedFolder/Data.html
- //192.168.1.66/SharedFolder/Data.html
- 192.168.1.66/SharedFolder/Data.html
I wondered if this is even possible and if it is, could someone give me some pointers?
I've successfully pinged the Windows box from Ubuntu:
# ping 192.168.1.66
PING 192.168.1.66 (192.168.1.66) 56(84) bytes of data.

and I can access the Windows share from every other computer on the network, however, they are all running Windows XP Professional aswell. I'm not sure if it's a problem between Ubuntu and Windows shares in general or just that my URL style is wrong.
