# Browse Network in Ubuntu Nautilus and click to mount# Browse Network with Nautilus and click to mount via gvfsNote: The creation of persistent mounts using fstab will work in any distribution.  Discussion on GVFS applies to the GNOME desktop and thus distributions using GNOME and gvfs.  For KDE users the equivalent is KIO (kio).  KIO does not make mount points available to non-KIO applications.  Relates to: dolphin / konqueror / kio-smbWhat the hell is that?  Who's going to want to find that or type all that in?  It cannot be accessed directly in console as root.What the hell is that?  Nautilus uses GVFS to connect on-demand to the windows share.  GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the GNOME desktop.  GVFS and CIFS work together to mount the share in a temporary gvfs path. Who's going to want to find that or type all that in?  It cannot be accessed directly in console as root.== Mount via manual execute of mount command ==CLI solution, execute the mount command or create a shell script that mounts multiple network drives.  This way passwords need not be present in fstab or somewhere easily readable by other system users.examples: sudo mount -t cifs -o username= //WIN_SHARE_IP/ /mnt/WIN_SHARE sudo mount -t cifs -o username=nicolep //192.168.1.10/public /mnt/public sudo mount -t cifs -o username=nicolep //servername/public /mnt/publicAnother option to try is to use the "gvfs-mount" command on login.  gvfs-mount smb://servername/share/
