but i have some problem during open some file use php. the owner of windows pc just give me a phisycal file location to open aome DB file. actually i need to open that DB from path.

how do i do to search path and file use teminal?

Answer 1

Something not entirely unlike

mkdir /mnt/foo
mount -t cifs -o /somepath/smbcred //123.45.6.7/share /mnt/foo
find /mnt/foo -name DB.php.or.whatever

where smbcred is a file that you create which contains

username=fred
password=jkgh%3ff-b

Answer 2

Sounds like you need to mount a windows share, check the smbmount man page:

man smbmount
