You can access shared folders on your ReadyNAS system using a network-attached Linux or Unix device.
Not what you're looking for? Return to the ReadyNAS Share and Permission FAQ.
Note: Your ReadyNAS system does not support NIS because it is unable to correlate NIS information with SMB user accounts. In mixed environments where you want SMB and NFS integration, manually specify the user ID and group ID of the user and group accounts to match your NIS or other Linux or Unix server setting.
To access an SMB shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.

2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t smb -o username=<user name>,password=<password>] //<ReadyNAS IP address>/<shared folder name> <mount point>
•<user name> and <password> match the user name and password on the ReadyNAS.
•<ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
•<shared folder name> is the name of the shared folder that you want to access.
•<mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
To access an NFS shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the NFS file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.

2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t nfs] <ReadyNAS IP address>:/<volume name>/<shared folder name> <mount point>
•<ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.

•<shared folder name> is the name of the shared folder that you want to access.
•<mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
