Applications
This is a more convenient and reliable way to access shared drives with Git.
Commands
For a Synology or Windows share:
$ mount_smbfs //user:password@server/share_name path/to/mount
Alternatively, use mount with the -t smbfs option.
$ mount -t smbfs //user:password@server/share_name path/to/mount
Note that a share cannot be mounted twice. If it's already mounted somewhere the mount command will result in an error to the effect of mount error: path/to/mount: File exists See the df command below to troubleshoot these situations.
Unmount
$ umount path/to/mount
View all the current mounts
$ df
Use case
Disconnect from a remote share, then attempt to reconnect. Clicking the "Connect" button under the remote host in the Finder window has no effect.
Work around
From a Finder window Go > Connect to Server... ( ⌘+K ), enter smb://HostName (or use the IP address in place of the host name).
