How can I change permissions of mount point of a network resource on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

Solution 1:

The syntax will vary upon the filesystem use, but if it's SMBFS or CIFS based, you will need to specify the mode of the mount point, e.g. -d=777. For example:

mount -o nosuid,-d=777 -t smbfs //domain;uid:passwd@server/share /Volumes/<mount point>

where:

  • domain = Domain or Workgroup
  • uid = Username
  • passwd = Password
  • server = Name or IP address of the server
  • esri = Name of the share
