Re: Map Network Drives

["Mike McMullen" <mlm loanprocessing net>]

Check out smbmount. We mount windows shares all the time in our
office. For ad hoc mounting it can go something like this:

smbmount //windowsbox/share /mylinux/mountpoint/here

If password protected you will be prompted for the share password.

See smbmount for more details.

You can also put an SMB mount in /etc/fstab. I do that on a few servers.

Also useful is "smbclient". It allows you to query hosts for what shares
are available. It's also kind of a ftp client using smb.

See "smbclient".

Hope this helps,

Mike
