Samba

Access The File Shares of Our File Servers

You can access some of our Linux file systems as if there were MS-Windows network shares from your MS-Windows, MacOS or Linux system within our LAN. These shares are provided by a service called Samba.

Registration

You need to register before you can use them. Please send an email to our Administrators.

Windows How To

• Go to: Computer -> Map network drive
• Fill in a name of a share mentioned in the tabel below.
• Connect using different credentials: The Linux user name and password.

Linux Samba client

You can also access these Samba shares from a Linux client, if you have local admin rights. E.g. for user "me":

 

mkdir -p /home/myusername/share # once 

sudo mount -t cifs //fs0/home /home/myusername/share -o username=myusername
