Linux

To connect the home drive, your computer must either be within the ETH network (wireless or cable) or you must have an active VPN connection.

The software package “cifs-utils” must be installed.

Some commands require that you have “sudo” permissions or that you know the root password.

First create a mount point. This is a directory where the NAS drive should be connected to. e.g. "mkdir /home/localuser/nashome".

Now you can connect the NAS drive with the «mount» command.

The command "mount" must be executed together with "sudo" or directly as "root".

«sudo mount -t cifs -o username=domainuser,domain=D,vers=2.0,uid=localuser,gid=localgroup //testnas13.ethz.ch/id_service_sth_d/domainuser /home/localuser/nashome» domainuser = ETHZ username d = First character of ETHZ username localuser = Local username on your machine (“uid” from command «id») localgroup = Primary group from localuser (“gid” from command «id»)

After entering the «sudo» password and the domainuser password, the NAS drive is connected to the directory «/home/localuser/nashome» and you can work with this directory like a local one.

If access to the home drive is no longer needed, you can disconnect it with the command “sudo umount /home/localuser/nashome”.
