Two options, both accomplish the same goal:

Option 1: Apple (Command) + K. Then enter the server/folder path like so: smb://server/folder. Enter your username and password, if prompted.

A new icon will then be placed on your desktop and in the finder, under "Shared".


Option 2: Click on "Go", then "Connect to Server", then enter the server/folder path like so: smb://server/folder. Enter your username and password, if prompted.

A new icon will then be placed on your desktop and in the finder, under "Shared".

Hope this helps.

I am having a similar issue. I am trying to map network drives similar to the way I can on my work laptop.

I got the VPN set up and running (or so it says). On my PC, I run this script that short script that looks like:

net use h: /delete
net use h: \\192.168.3.3\acquisition /user:groupname\nbarr mypassword

I would love to be able to mount this location like I can on my PC. I tried the apple + K idea with no success. Any help? Thanks-
