NAME
mount_afp
— mount
an afp (AppleShare) filesystem using FUSE
SYNOPSIS
mount_afp |
[-o options]
afp_url node |
DESCRIPTION
The mount_afp
command mounts the AFP
volume denoted by the afp_url
afp://[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]host[:port]/volumename
at the mount point indicated by node.
This is normally a symlink to the afp_client(1) executable, which is a full implementation to mount AFP volumes using the FUSE infrastructure. It communicates with afpfsd, a daemon that manages AFP sessions. The arguments and options are:
-o
- Options passed to mount(2) are
specified with the
-o
option followed by a comma separated string of options. man page for possible options and their meanings. Additional options supported by the AFP Client are as follows:- volpass=<password>
- The only available option is "-o volpassword=XXX" to set the volume password (since there is no facility for that in an AFP URL).
- rw
- Mount the volume as writeable. This is the default, so it has no effect.
- ro
- Mount the volume as readonly.
- group=<groupname>
- Mount the volume as groupname.
- user=<username>
- Mount the volume as username.
- afp_url
- There are two forms of afp URL, one for TCP/IP and one for AppleTalk:
afp://[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]host[:port]/volume
afp:/at/[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]servername[:zonename]/volume
Denotes the afp server and sharepoint to mount. It may also contain the username & password required to log into the server. uamname is the protocol name of the authentication method. If port is not specified, then port 548 is used.
- node
- Path to mount point, which must be a directory that the user has write permissions for.
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates how to mount the afp volume server.company.com/volumename/ at the mount point /Volumes/mntpnt:
mkdir /Volumes/mntpnt mount_afp afp://username:userpass@server.company.com/volumename/ /Volumes/mntpnt
mkdir /Volumes/guest mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=No%20User%20Authent@myserver/guestVolume" /Volumes/guest The following shows how to use a username of "user:name" and password of "p@ssword": server.company.com/volumename/ at the mount point /Volumes/mntpnt:
mkdir /Volumes/myVolume mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=Client%20Krb%20v2@myserver/myVolume" /Volumes/myVolume
