Working with Shared Folders

Linux* Users

To access a shared folder on a computer running Linux:
1. Create a directory by entering the following command at the command prompt:
mkdir /my_directory
where my_
directory, such as, /mnt/my_directory.
2. If desired, display a list of all the available shared folders by entering the following
command:
showmount -e storage_system
where storage_system is the IP address of the storage system.
3. Mount the desired shared folder by entering the following command:
mount storage_system:/nas/NASDisk-00002/folder /mnt/my_directory
where storage_system is the IP address of the storage system,
the shared folder, and my_directory is the name of the directory that you created in
step 1.
If you included a full path when creating the directory, be sure to include the full path
with this command, for example:
mount storage_system:/nas/NASDisk-00002/folder /mnt/my_directory
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each shared folder that you want to access.

Mac is running OS X or an older operating system. Macs running OS X can access the
