Add Mounted Server to Ubuntu File Manager Side Panel

At work I have to connect to our server every day. After becoming annoyed with having to use the GUI Connect to Server every day, I wrote a quick script (using mount) that does the same thing.

When I use Connect to Server, however, a link to the mounted server appears in the side panel of the File Manager, which I use all the time. How do I add this link from a terminal/shell script?

(Or even better, where can I find the code for the Connect to Server program?)

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • You want to use gvfs-mount rather than mount
