Connecting to a windows network through the terminal?

Hi,
I'm at school with my archbox and want to connect to the samba server through the terminal. I usually use GNOME on a regular basis, but I find it fun to use the terminal for things. Please tell me how I can do this.

Yeah make sure smbclient is installed and use something like:
sudo mount -t cifs //windowsbox/sharename localmountpoint -o iocharset=utf8
For "windowsbox" you might have to use the ip address unless its name resolves somehow (like in your hosts file).

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:

    Alternatives?
    1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
    2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
    3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

  • How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication (Safenet OTP) on Session host?

    Good day!
    Could you please help me? How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication on Session host? How to open an authentication dialog that is the same as in Windows when logging on to network resources
    in Windows (Windows Security)?
    Our test environment: We have one RDS 2012 R2 server (all roles in one) and one session host in collection. On the session host installed Safenet Network Logon and it under GPO which disable all authentication, only OTP.

    Hi Sir,
    It seems that you are going to integrate 3rd party product into AD for authentication .
    I would suggest you to contact the vendor of Safenet for this deployment  scenario  :

  • Process .bat files through the terminal Window?

    Hi,
    I have a large number of .bat file which have been generated from Rendering out of Maya (3D Application) on PC.
    Usually I would process the bat files from within maya's script editor which would generate the Photoshop images.
    The down side is it ties my PC up and I cant really do anything while these are processing .. and it take quiet a while.
    I have Mac which doesn't have Maya... does anybody know if I can process .bat files maybe through the terminal window?. Problem is theres well over 10,000 images to process.
    If it is possible to do this is there a way I can automate this process from the Terminal for all the files?
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Wayne

    No problem, Kurt. There are several possible solutions for the OP (who seems to have disappeared!):
    You mentioned already running Windows on the Mac. I have found Parallels great, so it should be as simple as setting up his virtual machine, installing his app and copying over the batch files. But he would need to purchase Parallels and have a Windows licence.
    Unix has a much more sophisticated range of scripting facilities than the old DOS batch files, and there are free tools that do a lot of graphics processing.
    Applescript can be used to control Graphic Converter (amongst others) - but OP refers to rendering, and I don't know if GC can do that (in fact I am fairly sure it can't).
    So, to advise wr_uk we really need to know what those bat files are doing!

  • Connecting to my Windows Network

    Hello everyone. I recently purchased a new 24" iMac, and I'm having trouble connecting to my windows network, and my printer. My Windows Vista Home Premium is connected directly to a router, and my printer (HP Officejet J5780) is connected directly to the computer, so I route through the computer to print from the rest of my house. However, on my iMac, the network itself never pops up. I set the workgroup on the iMac to be exactly the same as the Windows, but I still can't see the network. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

    Hello!
    I've just bought an iMac....
    If it's a brand new machine, you should be in this forum area:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
    as you've found the forums for much older iMAcs with G4 processors
    or you can also ask in the Leopard OS Networking sub-forum here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1222
    If your iMac is an older model, then post the model details and we can go from there.

    Hi,
    To connect, I need to 'configure encryption as AES', which I'm not sure how to do on OS X. Furthermore, after signing in with my college ID I am required to 'Use the domain name [domain name]' and 'configure your browser to use the college proxy servers [example.example.net] on port [123]
    The encryption should be configured automatically. To use the proxy:
    1. Open System Preferences

    4. Click on Advanced, near the bottom right

  • Settings to connect to office windows network using wifi

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to connect my MacBook to the office network using Wifi - it's a full windows network with the usual active directory, fileservers and exchange. I can connect using LAN and can get to the network folders and exchanges etc, But I can't work out what settings need to be changed on the Wifi adapter to go wireless. Had a try searching for the answer but no luck.
    I've tried setting up a new user on the Mac with the same name as my network login. Attempted to change the DNS settings to be the network IP and changed the workgroup name under the WINS tab (although that seems to always change back to WORKGROUP automatically). And of course use my network password when asked for a WEP password when trying to connect. It doesn't ask for a username when connecting to the network wifi - just a WEP password.
    Can anyone explain what settings I need to change on the Macs Wifi adapter?
    And what details will need from my PC to get it going e.g. IP address, workgroup etc.
    Not much of a clue with networking. So please speak slowly!
    Thanks for the help,
    Mike

    All you should need is to verify that the correct IP ports - 3283 and 5900, primarily - are open on any applicable routers, and if necessary forwarded to the internal IP address of the Mac mini. Then just set up the Remote Management settings (Sharing system preference) on the Mini and add the mini to the Computers list in ARD.
    Regards.

  • Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

    Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
    The Problem:
    I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
    What happened:
    I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
    What I’d like to do:
    It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
    The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
    Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
    iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
    Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
    NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

    If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
    The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me).  But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
    When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it.  Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
    So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
    Thanks!

  • Accessing my home network through the internet?

    Is it possible to access my home network through the internet via my AirPort Express? I would like to have full access to my Mac Mini's hard drive from my MacBook while at work.

    Yes. You will need to enable file sharing on your Mac Mini (via Sharing in System Preferences) and then you will need to port forward all your ports (since I don't know exactly what file sharing method you will be using) of your Mac Mini via the AirPort Utility.

    Yes, I've that and it didn't work. Today, I reinstalled printer software on one printer and the "paused" message changed to "offline". It's a three-in-one printer. I turned off and on again and it still says "offline"

  • Finder can't access a mounted windows share - but the Terminal can...

    When I mount a drive using the finder's "Go / Connect to Server..." command I can choose the share to connect to and Finder mounts the share, puts it on the desktop etc... but then it tells me that:
    "The folder “Sharename” can’t be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
    Any attempt to access the folder through the finder will result in the same error message.
    Since the share does otherwise mount sucessfully, it shows up in /Volumes/ and using the terminal I can access the contents of the drive and open files. Applications, both terminal and GUI can read and save to files and folders opened in this way, but the GUI application cannot find the path again if you browse away in the app's browsable dialog boxes (like Save or Open). I can access any file using an absolute path in any program.
    There are more nuances to this behaviour:
    Other shares hosted by the same server don't have this problem.
    Using the terminal, I appear to have the same Unix permissions to the files and folders on the shares that work as the ones that don't work.
    Using Finder's "Go to Folder..." command I can open some, but not all folders in the flaky sharepoint mounts. All files seem to work though.
    My guess is that there are some permissions that are making Finder unhappy, but I'm not sure what they might be. But regardless, why then can I access everything from the Terminal? I'd like to use the Finder - it makes my experience much smoother!
    Some other people in this forum seem to have had the same problem with their NAS drives, but I don't think anyone has yet suggested they try accessing it via the terminal. It would be really helpful if anyone could confirm this Finder/Terminal discrepant behaviour.
    Any thoughts?

    I am having the same problem but with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
    I try to connect to the NAS via the Go / Connect to Server utilizing smb or cifs protocols and it will mount but then I can't enter the mounted drives/directories with finder.
    The workaround for forcing smb1 has been applied and I find that Finder would not permit me to enter those mounted directories but I can go via the command line and work fine. The  only issue is that with a Mac, as much as everybody say, you should not need to go to the command line... Yeah, right.
    For the amount of money that I paid for the Mac Book Pro, it should work. So, now I can confirm that even Mac OS X can be as bad as Windows...
    Any idea when will Apple put out a fix or an update to finder?

  • Connecting to a windows network

    I am an MBA and Lion OS  newbie of one day.  The basic interface is straight forward but I have a problem getting my new laptop to work with my existing Windows 7 network.  Specifically I have a file server (Lacie EDMINI NAS) and I can see it (sometimes) and it lists the directories but when I try to open a directory it tells me that the device is not avilable/present.  After I click the device in the finder sidebar it seems to disappear.

    I have the same problem at my work. We have a full Windows 2003 server and I can't connect to it. I can print through the server and connect to the internet, but can't connect to the server to see the files, although the server thinks that I logged in (the log file shows that it let me in), but for some reason apple doesn't see that.
    The only solution so far was that I've made an ftp access to the windows server, this way I can connect and see the files on windows 2003. matter fact I use sftp to do that to make it secure. that means your server admin has to create and sftp option to connect to the server. the good side of that is that you can have access to your files on the windows server from everywhere.
    but if anyone has any idea how to connect to a windows 2003 server, please let me know, because so far I know at least 4 or 5 businesses who has the same problem. that needs to be solved by apple.
    one more option is to run parallels on your machine and through that you can access and share files with windows servers, that is what I am also doing and it works fine, just a bit slow.

  • How to connect to an other computer through the internet

    Please who can help me with Desktop Remote control and connecting through the internet. I know a lot is written about it, but it is still confusing.
    So try to explain my situation:
    I have an MacBook pro with Desktop Remote Control 3
    The other computer:
    Apple PowerBook which is connected through and Thomson Speedtouch (wireless 716)
    External IP address xx.xx.xx.xx
    Internal IP address 192.168.1.66
    No firewalls
    My questions:
    How do I check if my Thomson Speedtouch the ports 5900 and 32?? are open?
    How can I open the ports on the router? Do I have to open the port on the router?
    Then on the MacBook Pro, I start up ARD3
    How do I scan for the computer on Internet? Do I use the external IP address?
    How can I then connect to the Apple PowerBook? I cannot fill in the second internal IP address or do I?
    I hope someone can help me.
    If more info is needed, please ask me.
    Thank you....
    Hans

    Neil thank you for your answer.
    I opened Network Utility. Went to the last Tab "Port Scan"
    I typed in: external IP address (i got this through the Widget SysStat which shows external IP)
    Than I gave up scan between the ports 5890 - 5910 to check if those ports are open or not. I had to way for a moment, and then the result was: "Port Scan has completed....."
    Ok, what do I know know? The ports are open or not?
    So please can someone help me with the following:
    1) What should the result show me from Network utility?
    2) Opening the port, this has to be done on the Router or is it something the Internet Service Provider needs to do?
    3) I still have the question: how can I open the port, so with what application.
    4) What are the exact ports which needs to be open?
    5) About bridging in the router, does that have a special name. I didn't see in the router configuration program an option like that? When searching --> this is configured: A. Router-modem (NAT/PAT) - is there something special with NAT/PAT?
    Hope someone can help me with a few of my questions.
    Thanks
