This means you can access files on Bristol or Gall directly from the p670 without having to SFTP or otherwise copy them. To use Sharity to mount the SAN (Bristol): [list][*]Login to the desired Windows server using [i]cifslogin[/i]. [font=Courier New][green]cifslogin bristol -U [b]username[/b] -D WIN[/green][/font=Courier New] Enter your SAN password when prompted. Note: WIN is the domain for Bristol.[/*] [*]Make a directory for the mount point using [i]mkdir[/i]. [font=Courier New][green]mkdir ~/net/bristol mkdir ~/net/bristol/biac[/green][/font=Courier New] This only needs to be done the first time.[/*] [*]Mount the share using [i]cifsmount[/i]. [font=Courier New][green]cifsmount //bristol/biac ~/net/bristol/biac[/green][/font=Courier New][/*][/list]Make sure to substitute your actual username in these commands. To use Sharity to mount some shares on Gall: [list][font=Courier New][green]cifslogin gall -U [b]username[/b] -D BIAC mkdir ~/net/gall mkdir ~/net/gall/programs cifsmount //gall/programs ~/net/gall/programs mkdir ~/net/gall/users cifsmount //gall/users ~/net/gall/users[/green][/font=Courier New][/list]Note: BIAC is the domain for Gall (and the other BIAC servers). To unmount a mounted share use [i]cifsumount[/i]: [list][font=Courier New][green]cifsumount ~/net/bristol/biac cifsumount ~/net/gall/programs cifsumount ~/net/gall/users[/green][/font=Courier New][/list]To view the help for an individual command use -h with the particular command. (e.g. [green]cifsmount -h[/green]). View a list of available commands using [green]sharity -h[/green]. -Francis [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
