[fsug-tvm] Re: Mapping Network Drive in Linux

[Kurian John]

What Manilal suggested is probably the easiest way to do it. However, if that doesn't work for some reason or you ever have a requirement of mapping a windows share to a directory of your choice, add the following line to /etc/fstab \\servernameorip\share    <targetdir>        cifs    defaults,user=username,pass=password 0 0 If you don't want this share to be mounted at boot, use the noauto option in addition to defaults. For example, the line in my fstab reads \\10.1.2.50\media    /media/laptop      cifs    defaults,noauto,user=myuser,pass=mypass 0 0 Regards, Kurian On 03/23/2009 05:01 PM, Manilal K M wrote: 2009/3/23 Arun v vempan <vchandume...@gmail.com>: Dear All, I am having windows machines in my company.I am now trying to change windows machine to linux machine step by step.So my doubt is can we map a windows drive(server) in linux(client machine). This is possible. From the panel, open Places-->Connect To Server. Provide the server and share info there. You can also create bookmark on nautilus so that you can open the Network drive with one click. regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
