Hey,

I'm very new to OS X with only a few hours use.

I'd like to rsync backups to a windows PC, I can connect to the windows machine and browse the shares. Where does OS X mount the share created?

Is it possible to mount the share via a script? This would be a preferred option as the laptop won't always be in a position to use the share.

Thanks in advance.

Jon
 
Shares are mounted in /Volumes on the root of your boot drive.

You can use automator to easily create a script to mount several shares at once.

Select Finder > Get Specified Servers > Enter your share names (should be like smb://ipaddress/sharename)

Then under that add Connect To Servers

This will then mount said volumes :)
 
Sorry forgot to add
I acutally go to Save as a Plugin , and add it under "Finder". Then anywhere in Finder I can right click and select it from the Automator option. You can also create files to double click . Pretty straight forward really.
