Hello everyone,



I just want to ask question.



mounting network drive using script through terminal.



let say I want to mount a network drive named "\\jamfsoftwaresoftware est"



how to I mount that using a script?



when you use "connect to server", they automatically connects to network drive and shows the content of the network drive.



example, using smb://jamfsoftware/software/test to connect.



I just want to make same thing happening using script.



I tried searching through internet, but I couldn't find good coding for it.



Could you guys let me know how if possible?



Thank you

I use



open 'smb://server.company.com/share'


and it seems to work ok.

First you need to create a directory for it:



mdkir /tmp/test


then mount it



mount -t smbfs //user:pass@jamfsoftware/software/test /tmp/test


This mounts it to the tmp/test folder

you can try something like this...



#!/bin/sh

mountShare=`/usr/bin/osascript  > /dev/null << EOT

tell application "Finder"

activate

mount volume "smb://jamfsoftware/software/test"

end tell

EOT`

I do something similar to what @spotter posted.



Write up here.

Likwise I use something similar to @spotter as well, getting the Finder to do it removes a lot of the complications especially if your running as root or different user from a script or policy.

i'm just trying to get part of it working using different ways of doing this.



I made Alias folder (network folder) to desktop.



when I try to access the folder using CD, it said "no such file or directory"



is there way I could access network folder through terminal?



when I do LS command, it shows up in the list, but when I actually try to go, it doesn't....



i'm trying to copy data from network drive to desktop using terminal commands *
