== Windows Network Drive ==
You can access your home directory by mounting {{{\\homes.ee.ethz.ch\username}}} as network drive in Windows.

If you do this from outside ETH, you need to create a [[http://computing.ee.ethz.ch/Workstations/Network/VPN | VPN connection]] first.

Click on the Computer shortcut and then click on the 'Map network drive' button from the upper toolbar.

Select the drive letter you want to use for this mapping. The Address to your folder is \\homes.ee.ethz.ch\YOUR-USERNAME. Im this example its pmeier. Replace pmeier with your username. Set the Checkbox "Connect using different credentials" and if you want, set "Reconnect at logon". Click on finish.

On the next screen, Enter d\YOUR-USERNAME and Enter your password. When done, click on OK.

If the mapping process worked fine, the newly created drive will open and will become available.

Three methods accessing Samba shares from Linux with Gnome (all machines at ETH)

Mountpoint

In all cases, the share will be mounted in /run/user/$UID/gvfs/smb-share:server=X,share=Y so that you can also access it on the command line.

gvfs-mount

You can also connect to a Samba share on the command line. After you run that command, you can browse the share in Nautilus.

mmuster@testclient:~> gvfs-mount smb://homes.ee.ethz.ch/smbtest
Password required for share smbtest on homes.ee.ethz.ch
User [mmuster]: d\mmuster
Domain [WORKGROUP]: d
Password: ********

To unmount a share on the command line, just add the -u flag:

mmuster@testclient:~> gvfs-mount -u smb://homes.ee.ethz.ch/smbtest

Nautilus Application

Select on the left side Connect to network and enter the name of the share in the Server Address field, e.g. as 'smb://homes.ee.ethz.ch/smbtest'.

Enter the details as given in the screenshot below.

'Connect to Server' Application

Open the Connect to Server application and enter the details similar to the screenshot below.

Accessing Samba shares from Linux with Konqueror (all machines at ETH)

Open your Konqueror Filemanager/Webbrowser.

As location, use smb://server/directory followed by <Enter>Type your username and password in the following dialog box.

For accessing your share provided from ID, use the following data:

Location:   smb://nas-nethz-users.ethz.ch/share-u-$/username
Username:   d\yourNethzUsername
Password:   yourPrivatePassword

Obs! The 'share-u-$' part of the location is dependant on the first character in your  username. If your username is 'kpelle', this part of the location will change to 'share-k-$'

For accessing your D-ITET share, user the following:

Location:   smb://homes.ee.ethz.ch/username
Username:   d\username
Password:   yourPrivatePassword

Using CIFS to connect to Samba shares

You can also mount your Samba home area with CIFS. This method is only available on computers where you have root access (i.e. this does not work on Linux workstations managed by us). If the command returns an error message saying "wrong fs type", make sure the package "cifs-utils" is installed.

$ sudo su
# mkdir /tardis-home
# mount -t cifs -o user=<d\your_tardis_login>,name=homes.ee.ethz.ch \\\\homes.ee.ethz.ch\\<d\your_tardis_login>  /tardis-home

Recent Linux Kernels contain the userspace filesystem FUSE. This allows you to use all sorts of new an inovative ways for mounting remote fileystems ... for example you can mount a file system via an ssh connection without needing root privileges:

$ mkdir ~/tardis-home
$ sshfs <d\your_tardis_login>@login.ee.ethz.ch: ~/tardis-home

But please note, that you can't do sshfs on homes.ee.ethz.ch - use login.ee.ethz.ch instead!

You can also unmount it again by typing:

$ fusermount -u ~/tardis-home

Please note that sshfs is not officially supported by the ISG.EE
