What is the equivalent to "Connect To Server" on the mac for the command line?
I would like to automate the process rather than summon the dialog every time I need to connect to a server.
There are multiple ways to connect to remote server!
I am assuming you have server running on Windows. Mac OS X includes the SMB protocol for networking with Windows computers; some Linux and Unix systems can also share files with this protocol as well. You can easily mount a shared SMB volume using the mount
command. Follow these steps:
mkdir /temp
chmod 777
mount -t smbfs //username@ip/nameOfSharefolder /temp
After this you can browse to/temp
directory and browse.
You can also use ssh
or ftp
command to access the remote server but you need to run the ftp server in case of ftp
command or remote access must be enabled in case of ssh
.
