Still getting used to Linux, and the GUI is great. I have Ubuntu 10 and I can go to Network and see the Windows network. Then double clicking this gets me to the drives that are shared. Then when I go back to the terminal and use:
cd ~/.gvfs
I can see the mapped drives. But it would be nice if I could this without all the mouse clicking. So how do I map network drives in the terminal, something akin to net use
for Windows.
EDIT: Not sure what happened, but this is what I did to get it to work. I created the directory for the share in /media
and then ran:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=nicorellius //server/share/ /media/share
and it said command couldn't be found. So i thought I would go ahead and use smbfs
so I ran:
sudo apt-get install smbfs
I tried the command suggested with smbfs
instead of cifs
and that didn't work either. So I tried again and then the next time I ran:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=nicorellius //server/share/ /media/share
it worked and I could navigate to the directory with cd
.
