  • Terminal - using the command-line mount command, the syntax is of the following form (including the domain, e.g. unimelb and user e.g. mfuser )

    Code Block
    languagebash
    mount -t smbfs //unimelb\;sclaus@mediaflux.researchsoftware.unimelb.edu.au/proj-testproject-1128.3.12  /Users/mfuser/smb_mount

     where the last part is an empty directory you have created on you computer to receive the SMB mount point.

  • Terminal with a secure identity token.  Macos uses the following syntax for connecting to SMB volumes on the CLI:

    • mount -t smbfs //[domain;]user[:password]@server[/share] path

  • Note that the semicolon character will be interpreted by the zsh shell, so we need to surround the path with quotes.  When using a token, we want the password to be blank, so we specify the : with nothing following it.  For example:

    • domain: token
    • replace <your token code here> with your actual secure identity token
    • replace proj-testproject-1128.3.12 with your actual project
    • /Users/mfuser/smb_mount with the location of your mount point (where the files on the server will appear).  You may need to create this with the mkdir command.
  • Example:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    mount -t smbfs '//token;<your token code here>:@mediaflux.researchsoftware.unimelb.edu.au/proj-testproject-1128.3.12' /Users/mfuser/smb_mount
