Mount Remote Folders
You can mount remote folders from remote servers (such as network computers or other RackStation) to easily navigate available network resources with File Station.
To mount a remote folder:
- Choose Tools > Mount Remote Folder.
- Enter "\\Remote_Server\Remote_Folder" in the Folder field to specify the path of the remote folder. For example, "\\192.168.0.2\share" or "\\chad\cheeseburger\pictures".
-
If access privilege to the remote folder is required by the remote server, enter your user credentials of the remote server in the Account name and Password fields.
-
Click Browse to select or create an empty destination folder on your RackStation for mounting the remote folder.
- Tick Mount automatically on startup if you want RackStation to mount this remote folder on every system startup or reboot.
- Click Mount. Now you can navigate to the destination folder where the remote folder is mounted, and manage the contents of the remote folders.
To unmount a remote folder:
- Right click on the folder where the remote folder is mounted.
- Click Unmount.
Note:
- The maximum number of concurrent remote folders is 100.
-
You are only allowed to mount remote folders from a remote server that supports the CIFS protocol.
