3. | Select the folder you want to mount and click "OK". |
4. | The folder is mounted. |
Method 2: Connecting to Server
1. | Choose "Go" > "Connect to Server". |
2. | Enter the NAS IP address. |
3. | Enter your login ID and password. |

Linux Users
On Linux, run the following command:
mount -t nfs <NAS IP>:/<Shared Folder Name> <Directory to Mount>
For example, if the IP address of the NAS is 192.168.0.1, to connect to the shared folder "public" under the /mnt/pub directory, use the following command:
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/public /mnt/pub
Log into the NAS with the specified user ID, use the mounted directory to connect to the shared folders.
Note: You must login as the "root" user to initiate the above command. |
