mounting a network drive cifs mac osx

Solution 1:

On OS X, the filesystem plugin for CIFS/SMB is named smbfs, and its options are a bit different. I think it should be something like this:

sudo mount -t smbfs -o -f=0777,-d=0777 '//KitchenLord;fegur@fs/CakeRecipes' /mnt/fs/CakeRecipes

...but in my quick test it doesn't seem to be obeying the -f and -d options. Anyway, check the man page for mount_smbfs for more info.

Solution 2:

To mount

mount_smbfs //[email protected]/share_name share_name/

To unmount

umount share_name
