'mount' while using Cygwin

I'm trying to use the mount command to mount a directory from a computer here at work onto my Windows machine.

In cygwin, I've tried several variations:

mount machineName:/remote/location/blah /local/location
mount -t nfs machineName:/remote/location/blah /local/location
mount nfs machineName:/remote/location/blah /local/location
mount machineNAme:/remote/location/blah

AND I've tried it with the arguments switched around, etc. etc.... I either get this message :mount: can't find brotula in /etc/fstab or in /etc/fstab.d/$USER or invalid arguments. I know I have the paths right because I was using scp just fine.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Solution

  • Have you tried $ mount //machinename/remote/location/blah /local/location as per the examples in man mount?
