Map a network drive


How can I map a network drive on an iPad once a VPN is established?

I have a iPad Pro and I am trying to access a network drive once I establish a VPN on my company's network. I can establish the VPN, but I am not sure of how to map a network drive like I do on my MacBook using smb.

iPad Pro, iOS 13

Hello,


One thing you can try is to ping the server where the network drive resides.


I suggest downloading the application LibTerm from the App Store.


Establish your VPN connection then open LibTerm. Gather your server’s IP address.


Within LibTerm type the following: *replace ipaddress with your server’s IP address.


ping ipaddress



If you receive a ping response then your iPad is able to communicate with the server. If you cannot then something is wrong with your VPN.
