I have a little experience with MAC OS. Please help me for mounting a smb share from Windows.
How to include a username in the format of Windows login in the URL for a share for the command mount_smbfs?
With mount_smbfs, I can successfully mount a share if the username does not include a \ or @ in the following command,
Mount_smbfs //username:password@server/share /path
However, those two symbols (\ or @) are necessary for Windows domain authentication. When I changed the user name to include Windows login format, i.e. domain\username, or (e-mail address removed), the command failed, with message URL parsing failed. I also tried using a variable, ($path) to substitute //username:password@server/share or some part of it, but got the same error message.
