mount a windows share on MiNT

[Paolo]

Hi everybody!

I finally managed to setup my brand new Ethernat on MiNTnet. It works like a charm, but remember to put the LAN plug first (I lost half an hour triyng to figure out what wasn't working...).

 

Now that I have network connectivity (pinging, browsing and all) I'd like to mount a share available on my NT server instead of FTPing it.

I read a lot of docs while setting up MiNTnet, and now I forgot where I searched in the first place.

 

So:

Can you please tell me what is the procedure to mount (let's say as drive M:) a windows shared disk in my CT60+EtherNat+MiNT.

 

I remember that Samba is involved, but I can't remember the whole lot.

 

Thanks

This is how a Samba share is normally mounted in Unix/Linux, and may work for you:

 

/usr/bin/smbmount //PCName/shared /mnt/LocalDir -o username=winuser,password=winpass

 

Where you would put in your PC's name instead of "PCName", and put in your local directory. You need to put in a windows username/pass also.

 

to dismount:

 

umount /mnt/LocalDir

 

 

I think you would need another step there to Associate "LocalDir" to your drive M: on your MiNT desktop. I haven't played around with MiNT for a while so somebody else might know.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no MOUNT for Mint. Only smbclient :-(

 

there is this sharity-light program, though, and I am triyng to understand it.

 

Hoping...
