Requirements

Connect via Samba

Graphical interface

Connecting via Samba basically works the same way as via SSH. Additionally, the device must be in in the data network of the University of Vienna or connected via Wi-Fi or VPN.

The difference between the integration of the folders is as follows:

  • Personal storage space: Type in the following server address in the window Connect with Server:
    smb://u;u:account-UserID@fs.univie.ac.at/u:account-UserID
    (Example: smb://u;zufallr0@fs.univie.ac.at/zufallr0)
  • Share: Type in the following server address in the window Connect with Server:
    smb://share;u:account-UserID@share.univie.ac.at/sharename
    (Example: smb://share;zufallr0@share.univie.ac.at/fantasyname)
  • Web space: Type in the following server address in the window Connect with Server:
    smb://u;u:account-UserID@webspace-access.univie.ac.at/u:account-UserID
    (Example: smb://u;zufallr0@webspace-access.univie.ac.at/zufallr0)

Click Connect.

Terminal

 

Personal storage space: Use the following commands to integrate the folder:

  • sudo mkdir /media/pers
  • sudo chmod 777 /media/pers
  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=u:account-UserID,domain=u //fs.univie.ac.at/u:account-UserID /media/pers -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g)
    (Example: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=zufallr0,domain=u //fs.univie.ac.at/zufallr0 /media/pers -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g))

 

Share: Change the line as follows:

  • sudo mkdir /media/share
  • sudo chmod 777 /media/share
  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=u:account-UserID,domain=share //share.univie.ac.at/sharename /media/share -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g)
    (Example: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=zufallr0,domain=share //share.univie.ac.at/pugilistik /media/share -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g))

 

Webspace: Change the lines as follows:

  • sudo mkdir /media/webspace
  • sudo chmod 777 /media/webspace
  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=u:account-UserID,domain=u //webspace-access.univie.ac.at/u:account-UserID /media/webspace -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g)
    (Example: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=zufallr0,domain=u //webspace-access.univie.ac.at/zufallr0 /media/webspace -o uid=$(id -u) -o gid=$(id -g))
