8.4 Managing Windows Files
With your SUSE Linux Enterprise machine being an Active Directory client, you can
browse, view, and manipulate data located on Windows servers. The following examples
are just the most prominent ones:
Browsing Windows Files with Nautilus
Use Nautilus's network browsing features to browse your Windows data.
Viewing Windows Data with Nautilus
Use Nautilus 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 GNOME Applications
Many GNOME applications allow you to open files on the Windows server, ma-
nipulate them, and save them back to the Windows server.
Single-Sign-On
GNOME applications, including Nautilus, 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 Nautilus, proceed as follows:
1 Open Nautilus and click Network Servers.
2 Click Windows Network.
3 Click the icon of the workgroup containing the computer you want to access.
4 Click the computer's icon (and authenticate, if prompted to do so), then navigate
to the shared folder on that computer.
