Tired of navigating the network for a Windows shared folder all the time under Ubuntu?
Well then I'll show you the equivalent of Windows xp's map network drive in Ubuntu 8.04.It is called mount with smbfs.
Step 1
Enter in a Terminal window
Create a directory where the share will be mounted. lets say sudo mkdir /share1(share1 is my mount point)
Step 2
Type this instruction:
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator //windows-box-name/share_name /share1
Step 3
you will find your share in /share1 mounted and presto.Done.Enjoy. :)
