9.4 Managing Windows Files

With your SUSE Linux Enterprise machine being an Active Directory client as described
in Chapter 12, Active Directory Support (↑Deployment Guide), you can browse, view,
and manipulate data located on Windows servers. The following examples are just the
most prominent ones:
Browsing Windows Files with Konqueror
Use Konqueror's smb:/ browsing option to browse your Windows data.
Viewing Windows Data with Konqueror
Use Konqueror to display the contents of your Windows user folder just as you
would for displaying a Linux directory. Create new files and folders on the Windows
server.
Manipulating Windows Data with KDE Applications
KDE applications, such as the Kate text editor, allow you to open files on the
Windows server, manipulate them, and save them to the Windows server.
Single-Sign-On
KDE applications, including Konqueror, support Single-Sign-On, which means
that to access other Windows resources, such as Web servers, proxy servers, or
groupware servers like MS Exchange, you do not need to reauthenticate. Authenti-
cation against all these is handled silently in the background once you provided
your username and password on login.
To access your Windows data using Konqueror, proceed as follows:
1 Press Alt + F2 and enter smb://
This opens a Konqueror window displaying all Samba workgroups and domains
that could be found in your network.
2 Click the icon of the workgroup or domain of your AD server.
