Please pardon me if this is a silly or stupid question. I have just built myself a new system and it runs FreeBSD exclusively. (I am very happy now) My question is how do I mount a remote file system when I am connecting through a modem dialup. I have an account with www.iserver.com, which hosts web pages using FreeBSD. Through them, I was able to create an entry in my hosts file and then access my server through a UNC pathname (actually, //server/usr) and then map a drive to that filesystem. Question is, can I do such a thing with FreeBSD? I am currently connecting through PPP. Since I have several scripts that access the remote files as if they are on a local drive, I would like to continue to be able to use these scripts FreeBSD. It would be a pain to have to use ftp. (I know that I could tar up the files and ftp them down, operate on them, tar them up and send them back, but that is a lot of work if I just want to edit a few files.) Any help or pointers is greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
