| #Mounting the share is a 2 stage process: | |
| # 1. Create a directory that will be the mount point | |
| # 2. Mount the share to that directory | |
| #Create the mount point: | |
| mkdir share_name | |
| #Mount the share: | |
| mount_smbfs //username:[email protected]/share_name share_name/ | |
| #Unmount the share: | |
| umount share_name |
For those who keep getting
File existswithoutsudoit may be that you already have that drive mounted in Finder. In my case I was exploring the drive in finder. When I unmounted that it worked a charm.Details and an automation script available: https://stackoverflow.com/a/78877529/945789
so it is!
Just tested and confirmed this also works:
mount -t smbfs //username:[email protected]/sharename mountfolder
You can leave the password off and be prompted for it.
You can leave the username off if it matches your current username.
mount -t smbfs //server.name/sharename mountfolder
