how to mount osx drive to centos server?

  • 772

how can i mount a hard drive on my mac to my remote cent os server?

Would I need to set up an FTP on my mac?

can it be done with with cifs or nfs?

I'm sorry for sounding vague but i really have no idea as to how to approach this. I know how to mount drives from one server to another using (private)IP's vau NFS but not really sure how to do it using a remote machine with a different OS.

network-share remote

  1. This is really a question for superuser.com but you can use any of those protocols, I'd suggest CIFS/SMB just because it's right there ready to enable in System Preferences/Sharing - although all the others can be setup quite easily if you want.

    If you want to mount it in the native Apple format (Apple Filing Protocol, i.e., AFP), you can use fuse-afp. On a CentOS6 box:

    $ yum search afp
==================== N/S Matched: afp ====================
afpfs-ng-devel.i686 : Development files for afpfs-ng
fuse-afp.i686 : FUSE driver for AFP filesystem
afpfs-ng.i686 : Apple Filing Protocol client

    I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well it works.

    If you want to do more research, your search terms will include "afp" and/or "netatalk".
