How can i mount to the network drive?
 

Dear all,

How can i mount to a network drive (-t vfat)?
how should i prompt the shell command?

Thanks!

To mount a share from a Windows box, you need the Samba client software installed. Then, you mount as...

mount -t smbfs //server_name/share /mount/point

It will work with any 9x/NT/XP share, since the disk read / writes are handled by the Windows box. Once you have it working, you can add a line in your /etc/fstab with options to allow users to mount / umount.

To see what shares might be available on a Windows box, you would use the smbclient command...

smbclient -L server_name

It might give you different shares depending on what account you use, and what permissions that account has on the Windows box.

To share from a Linux box to a Windows box, you need the Samba server, and have it configured to match the Windows network.
