Samba

The team's server is configured with Samba to allow Windows users to share files more easily. Things like photos of team meetings and competitions should be posted here for general use.

Use the following settings:

Domain: rhitrobotics.org
Username: <your-rt-username>
Password: <your-rt-password>

On Windows, simply type the following into an Explorer window:

\\rhitrobotics.org\rhrt

Under Linux you can either use Samba or SSHFS to connect; which one you use doesn't matter much.

(The following instructions involve using the command-line terminal; to open a terminal you go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.)

Samba

To install in Ubuntu sudo apt-get install smbclient

To connect:

  1. Create a directory to serve as a mountpoint; e.g. mkdir samba in your home directory.
  2. Mount with smbmount: smbmount //rhitrobotics.org/rhrt rhrt
  3. Enter your password when prompted.
  4. Files should now be visible in the mountpoint directory.

SSHFS

To install in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install sshfs

To connect:

  1. Create a directory to serve as a mountpoint; e.g. mkdir mountpoint in your home directory.
  2. Mount with sshfs: sshfs username@…:/rhrt mountpoint (with username being your Kerberos username)
  3. Enter your password when prompted.
  4. Files should now be visible in the mountpoint directory.
