Mounting SMB filesystems from Mac OS X machines


  1. From the Finder, click on Go and select Connect to Server....

  2. Fill in the Server Address box with the appropriate Samba URI (smb://hostname/path). Since we have already set up an SSL tunnel to our Samba server, our hostname to connect to will always be localhost.

    The path will be the name of the filesystem to which you wish to connect, e.g. cvs for the cvs share, wwwhome/yourusername for your web server directory, or homes/yourusername for your Junkfood home directory. You will be prompted for your UMD-CSD-NT\username Windows password.

  3. The mapped filesystem should appear on your desktop, and will also be visible from the command-line under the /Volumes directory.
