[ubuntu-uk] Mounting NAS using curlftpfs

[Jon Reynolds]

OK,

I am on Xubuntu so no 'Connect to Places', but I do remember I could do this with the FTP option. (hence my original question of trying to mount it with curlftpfs)

I do not have /proc/fs/cifs/ so cannot perform the echo 0 > ... command
(which I have tried before with success on Ubuntu)

Because I get the 'Cannot allocate memory' error, it seems to me it is
making contact but the error is a windows thing. Solutions in that link
Alan supplied involved doing things on the Windows machine containing the
share, obviously I can't do that if it is just a NAS drive.

Thanks for the help so far!

Jon
