Possible to map a folder on my Win 98 machine to a remote Unix Directory?

[CrazyDiamond]

Hey guys, I go to a university and they give us accounts on these unix servers with 50 megs of disk space. I was wondering if there is any software that i could map my win 98 computer to my directory on the unix server?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT* oops, i mean map my unix directory to a directory on my Win 98 machine... so i can access the files from my unix directory from my Win98 machine. I noticed that on my school's lab computers, students have their unix directories mapped to a drive in Win NT and Win 95, so i guess this is possible. I'm just wondering how to do it.

IF your school's unix system supports smbfs and IF you can ping your PC from a school unix terminal and IF you are able to create a unix directory on their server with the proper permissions and IF you are willing to expose your shared Win98 computer/drives/folders to the whole school full of bored Comp Sci majors looking for mischief THEN you can probably do it.

But I wouldn't.

that, my friend, is a beautiful response.

CrazyDiamond, you have been told.

Hey i'm willing to take the chance, so how do i do it?

Well, your edit changes the story a little bit. Just ask the people you see who are doing it.

Err no, you see, these are the lab machines that they are doing it on, it's automatically done everytime they login, and it's done in novell.

Well, I guess the best thing to do would be to ask the sys admin how to do it and if it is even permitted. Probably not the answer you were looking for....
