HOW TO: Access Ubuntu Shared Folders from OS X

[memoivoila]

Thank you that was really helpful, I didn't think I needed to connect to a server :)

[terryshoes]

all the info you need is in this video. Thumbs up

[Excrucibo]

I spent about 35 minutes of my time almost pulling my hair out and deciding it was impossible, before finding this video. Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed.

You don't how much I appreciate this thanks

its identical to sharing with windows. lol. how cool, great vid.

[crowdedmouth]

I have done what you said but 2/3 my macs keeps saying:

The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

Any other suggestions, I can't for the life of me figure it out....?

You're a champ.

[MikeKulls]

While this will work you are setting up WINDOWS sharing to transfer files between 2 linux based operating systems. This is obviously not the best way to do things, especially considering how buggy snow leopard is connecting to windows shares.

is there a way i can transfer my files to my ubuntu ? from my windows like when i use my ubuntu server, it doesnt let me download stuff, it says unable to send packets or something, that's why i wanna trasnfer files instead of re-downloading everything.

[mynameisnicholas]

Thanks so much! Wish I would've found this a few hours ago...

[2j4ez]

Can you access this folder from your mac as anything other than a guest? I tried accessing w/ my ubuntu login and pw w/ no luck. Though I can access as a "guest", I can't view any of the files in the shared folder from my mac.

[mc900000]

I was surprised this was so easy w/ no hassles. Thanks!

[greynand]

very good, how can i do same , from ubuntu to windows

[Rockcold4ever]

Dude this was awesome.

I think you should make some tutorials on more OSX things. I called myself knowing a lot about it, but i'm 150% you got me beat by a long shot. :P

Great Job!

[BigBroMario]

Ha thanks, but I'm no expert.

I'm thinking I might start making some more tutorials, just because I'm always very grateful when I come across a video that solves one of my problems. I'd like to help people.

Your just a beast with Mac. That's why it's so easy
