Mount a drive in terminal

**NeoNmaN** · 11-03-2009, 03:41 PM

Hello everyone

I side with a minor problem, I have my OSX server to act as the master PC in my home.

what I now want is that I want to mount a drive from my server to my MacBook Air, is there anyone who knows how it can be done through terminal?

Is there any particular reason you want/need to use the Terminal and can't simply use the Finder?

Have a look at:

Mount SMB shares from the command line - Mac OS X Hints

for SMB.

You can read a thread on AFP here:

Mount AFP volumes from the terminal - Mac OS X Hints

You will also want to read the man page on the mount command.

You can mount the devices at login, don't need a terminal script for that.

Ok, go to System Preferences, then to Accounts, then to Logon Items...

click on the + then navigate to your share and click on add.

You'll have to mount it first before you can do that.
