2.Enter the path of the shared folder.

Network Path: Server address (or server name) and share name format depending on protocol:

SMB/CIFS: \\<server_ip_address>\<share_name>\<optional_ directory>

NFS: server:/<share name> where server can be the IP address or host name of the server.

NOTE: Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For example, the host name in figure 47 is HOSTSERVER. The Network Path: name is then: \\HOSTSERVER\SharedFolder.

4.If the folder has a user name and password assigned, enter them in the next fields. User Name: Optional user name, if required.

Password: Optional password for the user name.

5.If necessary, enter additional switches into the options field (see Network Shares Dialog on page 85). This field is used to pass credentials, if required. By default, the CIFS mount adds “user=” and “guest=” to the mount options, for an anonymous login. No spaces are allowed between the user and password (Example: user=username,pass=password).
