[Software] Mount Server Permanently In Natilus

[reformedhatter]

So, in nautilus, I have gone to Other Locations, and at the bottom I have managed to connect to my server. It shows up in the left hand panel and is mounted. But I have to do this each time I boot up. Is there a way to by-pass this and the server is connected to automatically?

You could mount your server in /etc/fstab, so it would be mountad at boot.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I may have made a mistake in my opening post as it seems to be there permanent after all. Can you explain how to mount it in /etc/fstab?

Hello!

Should know do you use samba or what method.

Basic syntax:

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.100/share  /mnt/network_drive  cifs  defaults  0  0

You need root rights or sudo to edit /etc/fstab

this is what I see when I run sudo nano /etc/fstab

We all have been in some point.

Samba is protocol used to share data between windows and linux.

So you already have, you should add option user to that auto, nosuid,,, That > at the end of swap is wrong, maybe a typo.

I managed to find out how to bookmark the server and that seems to be working fine.
