Windows
Please note you must have access to a user account with NTFS permissions to access the file share (unless it’s open to everyone).
- Open command prompt
- Type the following command:
net use x: \\server\share /user:domain\username password
Example:
net use y: \\itdb1\home /user:itdb\kek 123456
If the share is open for everyone, you can dismiss the user arguments:
net use y: \\itdb1\home
Keep in mind that if you already are on the domain and try to map a network share with another user than you’re currently logged in with, you will see the error message:
System error 1219 has occured.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.
Linux
Linux can also access NTFS mounts. Run the following commands in your terminal:
- Create a folder which will be used for connecting to the share:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ShareName
- Mount the network share to your folder:
- Without user authentication:
$ sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/ShareName
- With user authentication:
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=itdb\kek,password=123456 //itdb1/home /mnt/ShareName
- Without user authentication:
