Linux/Gnome quicktip - Connecting to a network share the fast way
Want to connect to a network share without going through the long and arduous process of mounting it?
Try this: hit (gently) the Alt-F2 keys to bring up a Run Application window.
If you’re trying to connect to a server called sarcasm.arsgeek.com and a share named ‘haha’ enter the following:
smb://sarcasm.arsgeek.com/haha
Alternately, if you have an IP address and share name, and that IP was 192.168.0.1, then enter:
smb://192.168.0.1/haha
Easy as pie.
Author’s Note: neither the server nor the share really exist, so trying that will get you no love and all errors.
