[ubuntu-uk] Mounting NAS using curlftpfs

[Dan Fish]

Jon,
The drive is probably using Windows Networking ie samba/cifs compliant.
Have you tried mounting it with cifs ie -
"sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/ /media/fnd/ -o
username=username,password=password,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777"

It might be easier than using curlftpfs

Regards
Dan Fish
