mount_smbfs question

[killfoot]

I'm having a problem which this guy describes: http://www.cmsimike.com/blog/2009/06/30/os-x-failure-mounting-via-shell/


Here is what I'm doing:

mount -t smbfs //myuser:mypass@mybox/myshare /Users/myuser/Desktop/Storage

it results in: "mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/myuser/Desktop/Storage: File exists"

Or, if I don't have the Storage directory crated it results in: "mount: realpath /Users/myuser/Desktop/Storage: No such file or directory"

I'm really confused. From what I read, this should be working.

Anyone? I still can't figure this out!

You need to run the command using sudo.

sudo mount -t smbfs //myuser:mypass@mybox/myshare /Users/myuser/Desktop/Storage

this should then work.
