You can mount a directory that is located on a remote Microsoft Windows or Linux file system on your home directory. A mounted network share lets you access the shared directory and its contents without navigating the Windows or NFS network. You can also perform the same file operations on the mounted shared directory as you would on your home directories.
You can choose the directory on your file system where you want to mount the shared directory. When you mount a shared directory, the directory and its files are displayed in the location you specify as the mount point. The mount point is the location in the local file system where you place the shared network directory. You must have permission to access the directory you want to mount, or you will be prompted to enter a password to access the directory. The system administrator can provide you with the passwords you need.
You can also disconnect a mounted network share. When you disconnect from a mounted directory, the directory disappears from the directory in which it was mounted, and you can no longer access it from your home directory.
To mount a network share
1. On the Panel, click the Corel File Manager button.
2. Click Tools, Mount Network Share.
3. Type the file path to the directory where you want to mount the shared directory.
4. Double-click a directory in the Shared Directories box.
5. Type your workgroup name, a backslash (\), then your user name, in the Connect As box, if it does not appear automatically.
Note
If you have already logged into the network, for example, when you started the Core LINUX session, you will not be prompted for a user name and password.
Tip
You can also choose a mount point by browsing your home directory. Click the Browse button in the Mount Network Share dialog box. Navigate to the directory where you want to mount the shared directory.
To disconnect a network share
1. On the Panel, click the Corel File Manager button.
2. Click Tools, Disconnect Network Share.
3. Choose a mounted network share in the Disconnect Network Share dialog box, and click OK.
4. In the dialog box that appears, click Yes if you want to remount the network share the next time you log on; click No if you do not want to remount the network share.
