2. Enter the path of the shared folder.
Network Path: Server address (or server name) and share name format depending on
protocol:
SMB/CIFS: \\<server_ip_address>\<share_name>\<optional_
directory>
NFS: server:/<share name> where server can be the IP address or host name
of the server.
NOTE: Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For
example, the host name in figure 47 is HOSTSERVER. The Network Path: name is
then: \\HOSTSERVER\SharedFolder.
4. If the folder has a user name and password assigned, enter them in the next fields.
User Name: Optional user name, if required.
Password: Optional password for the user name.
5. If necessary, enter additional switches into the options field (see Network Shares
Dialog on page85). This field is used to pass credentials, if required. By
default, the CIFS mount adds “user=” and “guest=” to the mount options, for an
anonymous login. No spaces are allowed between the user and password (Example:
user=username,pass=password).

network directory or drive for access to compatible files (see figure 18).

NFS: server:/<share name> where server can be the IP address or host name of
the server.
User Name: Optional user name, if required.

Options: This field is used to pass credentials, if required. By default, the CIFS mount adds
“user=” and “guest=” to the mount options, for an anonymous login. No spaces are allowed
between the user and password (Example: user=username,pass=password).
