If you are setting up the working from home environment on a Mac or Linux, and got stuck trying to mount the ece391_share
folder through smb/cifs due to some issues with SMBUp or smbd, you can try to mount the shared folder using sshfs rather than samba. Sshfs operates as a FUSE virtual filesystem that converts a SFTP connection into a mounted folder, therefore it is free of samba issues such as weak authentication protocols, protocol mismatches, missing permission attributes, etc. When configured correctly, sshfs works more reliably and securely than samba.
The following steps are in devel. Commands in this section requires root permissions. Login as root
