samba and command line

[Ant2ne]

I'm trying to access files on another machine via CLI. I can easily point and click my way to these files via Samba in this directory with konk

smb://cygne1000/TonyShare/install

But I don't know how to get to the files konsole.

ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ cd smb://cygne1000/TonyShare/install
bash: cd: smb://cygne1000/TonyShare/install: No such file or directory
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ smb://cygne1000/TonyShare/install
bash: smb://cygne1000/TonyShare/install: No such file or directory
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ cd //cygne1000/TonyShare/install
bash: cd: //cygne1000/TonyShare/install: No such file or directory

Re: samba and command line

Make a local directory and mount the remote directory to the local directory. I think that would work. Once mounted, you will have access to the files.

Re: samba and command line

what would the command line for that look like?

Re: samba and command line

First make a directory to mount to. Then:

sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=yoursmbusername,password=yoursmbpassword //cygne1000/TonyShare/install /path to directory you created.
