Then I put in this script (with changes to fit my environment) if /sbin/ping -q -c 1 -W 1 >/dev/null then This solution does require you to save the credentials in the Keychain, but that only needs to be done once.įirst I created the script file (credit to samuelfullerth for writing the script) nano ~/automount.sh So I use osascript to mount the file system. But I didn't want to have to add any apps.
If you try any of these let me know how they work out. It's a shame there is no free trial version available.ĭrive Mounter - Not tried this because Auto Mounter is holding up well so far. Can mount drives in /Volumes using a separate helper utility that overcomes the App Store sandboxing. Looks good so far and has lots of features and the ability to create rules. Was promising at first but sadly became unreliable.Īuto Mounter - Currently trying this (£9.99) with the Pro options pack too (£2.99). The free version is restricted to 1 mount point and limited remounts. Eventually I found a few apps in the app store (I never normally look for software there!) that claim to be able to reconnect network drives after sleep:ĭrive Mounty - I tried the pro version of this (£2.99) for a few weeks and it seemed to mostly work ok but suddenly started hammering the CPU and failing to mount the drive and also adding random suffixes to the mount point. Click “OK” to mount the network share on your Mac's desktop.ĭouble-click the network share's icon to access the files on the USB drive through the router.I've been having the exact same problem and search for a solution. For example, if your router's IP address were 192.168.0.1, you would enter “smb://192.168.0.1”.Ĭlick “Connect” and then select your USB drive's name from the dialog box. Select “Go” from the toolbar menu and then click “Connect to Server” to open the Connect to Server box.Įnter “smb://” (without quotes), where is the IP address of your router, into the Server Address box. If you want to share the entire contents of the drive, share the drive's root folder.Įxit the router menu and click on the “Finder” icon. This process allows you to restrict some folders to local access only, should you want to. Open the router's USB storage settings page and select the folders on the drive that you want to share. The process to access the device's menu varies from router to router, but most router menus can be accessed by opening a Web browser and typing your router's IP address into the address bar. Log in to the router's configuration menu. Connect the drive to your router's USB port and ensure that the router is powered on.
