How to mount and unmount a SMB share on Mac OS X (using mount_smbfs)
Raw
mount_smbfs.sh
#Mounting the share is a 2 stage process:
# 1. Create a directory that will be the mount point
# 2. Mount the share to that directory
#Create the mount point:
mkdir share_name
#Mount the share:
mount_smbfs //username:password@server.name/share_name share_name/
#Unmount the share:
umount share_name

Can update the gist for Monterey which requires adding WORKGROUP?

mount_smbfs //'WORKGROUP;username':password@remote-host/shared local-mount-point/

mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/machenchi/shareDev: No such file or directory
But I have made a dir with mkdir /Users/machenchi/shareDev

@vaxilicaihouxian @mwmcode I had the same issue. I fixed it by putting the last argument (i.e the mounting point) in quotes. So, the original command becomes:

mount_smbfs //username:password@server.name/share_name "share_name/"
