Body
Linux - Map a Network Drive
Open a Terminal window
You require the mount.cifs command, so you will have to install the cifs-utils package
If you are on Ubuntu or similar, you can type 'sudo apt-get install cifs-utils' to install it
Type 'sudo mkdir /tmp/pdrive' or substitute with the directory you'd like to mount into (pdrive is just an example)
Type 'sudo mount.cifs //path /tmp/pdrive -o rw,noperm,username=XYZ,domain=ACADIA'
Make sure to substitute /tmp/pdrive if you want to mount in a different location
Substitute //path for the folder you want:
//home.acadiau.ca/departments
for the S drive
//falcon.acadiau.ca/
XYZ
for your drive on Falcon
Substitute 'XYZ' with your Acadia username
You may have to enter two separate passwords:
If you did not use 'sudo' in the earlier commands or recently, you will have to enter your Linux password first
The Linux password prompt will just say "Password: "
Your Acadia network password (same as Central, MOODLE, email, etc)
The network password prompt will say "Password for XYZ@//falcon.acadiau.ca/XYZ: " (XYZ being your username as before)
If no errors occur, the drive should now be mounted into the folder you specified.
