Hey guys...

Or I am a complete noob on Mac OS matters or this really does not exist:
How to REFRESH a samba shared folder?

I mean - I use a LOT to connect to a old PC and mess with files there,
renaming, adding, deleting... and after, for example, renaming a bunch of files
my Mac OS window does not refresh the contents of the folder (connected via samba).

I need to EJECT/DISCONNECT from the PC machine and re-connect again to
be able to see the modifications done.

Is there something similar on Mac OS X just like the old F5 on windows?
You press it and tá---dáááá!
The folder refreshes its contents.

Thanks,
C.

Switching to another window (or just clicking on the Desktop) and then back to the window with the samba folder open seems to work for me.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
