Mounting Windows Netzwork Share

[Peter Reuschlein]

Hi,

i got a little Problem atm,
we have a server that is quite low on disk space now we want to mount a windows networkshare on the server.
Are there any good tutorials for this or a short howto?

Hi Peter,

You can use CIFS client which can be downloaded for free from http://software.hp.com

The full documentation is available from http://docs.hp.com

I'd consider carefully which filesystems you are going to replace using Windows shared drives - it'd be fine for data, but I wouldn't like to use it for system files.

regards,

Darren.

thanks that one is quite good but i think a bit oversized

we have some files on the windows share want to load em through a generator (just works und hpux) and write em in that share again.)

we don´t need authentication etc any "smaller" possebilitie

Hmmm - that's confused me! If you want to actually mount the Windows share then you'll need something like NFS or CIFS - both these methods require software to be installed (though with CIFS it's only required on the HP side.)

Otherwise, if you just wish to transfer files then ftp is a possibility.

Perhaps you could try explaining your question again in case I've misunderstood it ;)

regards,

Darren.

Peter,
If low in disk space means and if you want to use a local filesystem on a remote physical device, then CIFS is the best one to go.

But if you only transferring some files then ftp is the best option.

hey,

yeh its that way we want to mount a windows device. I´ll try that CIF thingy after we updated our 10.2 to the current 11.x Version :) now its a good reason for that.
