Title: very new to linux, how to map a network url?
Post by: aegcp on 5 April 2004, 11:42

Hello all!!

I have just installed redhat and dumped windows. I am using konqueror for file manager (like windows explorer). In windows, there was an option where you can "map" a specific network location, and browse the files on that url like if it were locally.

now, how can I do that on linux. I can't find any option in konqueror; I'm using redhat WS.

thanks a lot!

you should be able to mount it to a specific directory using the mount command, but refer to your distro's documentation for exact instructions.

If you are talking about windows-based network shares, check out the smbmount command.
