Calyx RIM Viewing 5.5 Installation Guide

Mounting Windows Shared Directory on Linux

Use this procedure to access shared files, such as shared repositories, stored on a Windows server using Calyx RIM Viewing installed on a Linux machine.

On a Linux machine, use the following command in the terminal: mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>/domain,password=<password> //<winserver>/<share>/ mnt/winshare
where:
  • <username> is the domain user id
  • <password> is the domain password
  • <winserver> is the system name
  • <share> is the location or path where the shared files are stored
Note: If the winshare folder is not present, create it using appropriate Linux commands.
mount -t smbfs -o username=john/domain,password=johnpass //abc011//Remoterepo /mnt/winshare
