No need to mount anything or install samba: windows shares can be
accessed using the familiar Windows syntax, only with Unix slashes
rather than DOS backslashes:
//server/share/path_to_file
Actually you can use backslashes too, but then the filename needs to be quoted:
"\\server\share\path_to_file"
Good luck with the seminar!
