Thanks... |

I never liked mc even in the old days... always preferring the cmd |
| 14 |
line or emacs, But that aside yes it does work. And just for your own |
| 15 |
info you can cd around direct from the cmd line too... just need the |
| 16 |
right syntax... and get prompted for a passwd. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
(cd /#smb:host/share) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
But the interface is so far removed from a common shell prompt and |
| 21 |
seems really crippled by comparison, that it would take more than a |
| 22 |
little diddling around to get some real use out of it. Appears not to |
| 23 |
have cmd memory or readline type history at the cmd prompt... at least |
| 24 |
not by default or with some reasonable key press. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also it appears not to be able to execute commands on non-local fs. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
After cd'ing into a remote machine and being prompted for passwd... if |
| 29 |
I type `ls' <enter> it brings up a red error saying |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Error! |
| 32 |
Cannot execute commands on non-local filesystems. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Maybe all this can be configured away.... I don't think I want to mess |
| 35 |
with it really... but yes it does have the capability. |
