Mapping EUI network drives on Linux

May 23, 2009

[Of parochial interest only]

I’m using the EUI’s Citrix farm for some high-demand computing. Instead of emailing the data files back and forth, I finally mapped my G: drive. Here’s how I did it:

  1. sudo apt-get install smbfs
  2. sudo mkdir /media/euishare
  3. sudo mount -t cifs //RESSRV1/username$ /media/euishare -o username=username,password=******,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

Replace username with your username, and the asterisks with your own password. If you’re not a SPS, HEC or Law researcher, RESSRVC1 is not your server: check this list for your server.
