Can't view Shares from Ubuntu file browser...

Postby erechm » Mon Feb 15, 2010 8:27 pm

I recently replaced Windows Home Server with Amahi. I can view the HDA through Firefox from both my Windows 7 and Ubuntu computers, but I can only view the shared folders via the file browser in Windows 7. In Ubuntu file browser, it does not show up under Network. I'm assuming I need to mount it somehow. I keep going to "Connect to Server", but I can't get it to find the Amahi HDA. Please tell me what I'm missing. Thanks!

This page on mounting shares on linux may help.

On my Ubuntu machines the Windows Network does show up under Network and from there I can see the HDA so I'm not sure why you can't see it. One option is to install Smb4K. It has a nice GUI interface for mounting samba shares.

Thanks to both of you! I'll try it again tonight when I get home.
