So I would like to be able to use my smb share convienently, however gvfs
gives it a rather complex name. I have tried a symlink like this to a pre-existing directory /mnt/qnap
:
ln -s /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share\:server\=qnap\,share\=transfer/ /mnt/qnap
but then I get a link to the last directory name (which is still quite cumbersome), not the contents of the directory:
mike@Abra:~$ ls /mnt/qnap
smb-share:server=qnap,share=transfer
Is there a better way to do this? What am I missing?
cd /mnt/qnap/smb-share:server=qnap,share=transfer
?/mnt/qnap
exist?/mnt/qnap
does exit./mnt/qnap
is not pre-existing, but now I can't get rid of the previous symlink which has the name I want ... grrrr.
