I've included the following in /etc/sambe/smb.comf so that i can edit files on our webserver from a Windows machine -

[websites]
    comment = Websites
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    path = /var/www/html/
    valid users = dgard

However, I've now installed Ubuntu (13.04) on to my machine and I wish to connect to the path specified above from it, but I cannot find out how.

I've tried Connect to Server from Nautilus with the following, but it fails -

sftp://dgard@webserver.local/var/www/html

Can anyone please let me know what I need to do? Thanks.

Note: my webserver does not have a desktop installed.

To access a samba share you can press Ctrl+L on Nautilus to open the location bar then type:

smb://webserver.local/websites

It will then ask for authentication and mount the shared folder.

Use server's IP address if have trouble accessing by name.
