Where's the mount?


Nautilus makes it very easy to mount file servers. When you select "Connect to Server..." and enter the mount information, the mount appears in the UI as a mounted disk.



I would like to be able to use rsync to copy files to and from the mount. The problem is that I don't know where the actual mountpoint is.



If anyone knows where Nautilus mounts servers, please let me know.

  1. Have you tried a 'mount' in the terminal after mounting to try to see?

  2. Recent linux distros like to put things in /media (like CDROM's, floppies, USB drives). I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was there. Also check /auto for automounts, which it may be considered.
    I'd second Matthew's suggestion of just running 'mount' or even 'df' or 'cat /etc/fstab' and see what they all say.

  3. If it's ssh nautilus isn't really mounting the drive, it's just a front end using scp...(at least that's what I *thought* it's doing)
