Work with a computer connected to the localor a global network, and at the same time do not know how to connect a network drive - hence, to a great extent limit the usability of network resources. Although this feature is not mandatory, it greatly simplifies the interaction with the system.
To understand the benefits of using a networkdisk, we'll use a simple example from life, which, perhaps, many computer owners face. Now no one is surprised by the situation when everyone in the family has their own computer. This is convenient: you can safely "sit" in social networks, play games, learn new fashion, etc. Often PCs are connected to a local network, which makes it possible to exchange files, send documents to the printer. What does the user want to rewrite the file to the neighboring computing system?
Opens the "My Computer" shortcut, clicks the "Network Neighborhood" link and ... waits until all available IP addresses are scanned. And it takes tens of seconds - an inadmissible luxury!
After figuring out how to mount a network drive,It is possible to abolish the need for this expectation. In addition, sometimes a local network is created between the tenants of a high-rise building (for example, via Wi-Fi). In this case, you just need to know how to mount a network drive.
An important rule:on a computer, the resources of which must be presented as a network drive, access to the desired folders / disks must be "shared". After the scan of the environment (indicated above) is completed and the desired computer is displayed in the list, press the right mouse button (PCM) on the desired folder and select the network drive connection point. Next, you need to specify a letter. It can be any, except those already employed in the system. Rationally use the last letters of the alphabet - then it's easy to remember that, for example, "Z" is a network resource.
After that, one more will be displayed in the list of drives of the computer - connected. With it you can work almost the same as with the "real" partition of the hard drive.
The only feature - the speed of copying / recording will be limited by the network interface. Sometimes it becomes necessary to disconnect the network drive.
For example, access to resources has been closed or the name of the remote system has changed. The sequence of actions is the same: click on the connected PCM resource and select the appropriate command.
To connect a network drive in Ubuntu,you need to use special mount commands (sudo mount) with the attributes -t cifs / IP address / resource_folder / media. You should also specify the encoding, user name and password for access. The syntax can easily be found on the Linux support forums.
