You can also use mc's special notation for connecting from the shell |
| 46 |
prompt inside the program. I highly recommend RTFM since I don't know |
| 47 |
how to do it specifically and only tried it once a long time ago, so |
| 48 |
this may be completely wrong. :) But from memory it was _something_ |
| 49 |
similar to this: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
cd /#smb:hostname/share |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
You can also connect to things like FTP and fish (ssh/scp) with |
| 54 |
similar notation from within mc. Check for mc's VFS in the docs or |
| 55 |
google to see the actual instructions. |
