Gcode sharing folder ( Debian / Windows 7)

Open a terminal and type
mount

Hopefully there will be an entry that starts with gvfsd-fuse on

If you cd into the directory and run ls

you hopefully with get an entry starting with smb-share:

eg I mount a share called movies02 on a server called subsonic and the entry is

smb-share:server=subsonic,share=movies02

so the full path would be (in my case)

/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=subsonic,share=movies02/

This thread post discusses mount via fstab (you can choose where to mount the folder)

The second answer here discusses doing the same thing but using a file to store username & password, I would guess the domain entry could be left off.

If I had a windows 7 machine at home I could nail a full solution for you.

Here is what mount yelled:

allen@CNC:~$ mount
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=213733,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=335696k,mode=755)
/dev/disk/by-uuid/100f21bf-db51-49d3-b79f-e113983e3fa8 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k)
tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1313640k)
rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime)
allen@CNC:~$

I didn't see anything here with gvfsd-fuse , I will look at those other answers you mentioned

Thanks again

OK

First you want to

sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse
sudo adduser your-user-name fuse

Then logout and log back in and mount your share

The folder should then be in /home/your-user-name/.gvfs

your-user-name refers to your Linuxcnc login, which can be found by typing whoami at a terminal.

Sorry about the info before hand I was using Linux Mint and wrongly assumed things would be similar. I did the above after booting with the linuxcnc iso in a virtual machine and mounting a share on a linux samba server. The location of the mount should be the same.

That file path is eluding me.

Possibly in /mnt/hgfs

(Not something I would ever class as obvious)

I seem to recall it is much easier to find from the Linux file manager (whre it is under Network than from the LinuxCNC file picker.

Ozz,

I'll set that up now, thanks for all your help.

Andy,

Thanks for your response.
Something just occurred to me and you might be a good person to ask.

My original intension was to save all my .ngc files from Fusion 360 to a folder on Dropbox, I could then access them from LinuxCNC and run those files there. They would be saved, safe, and accessible at Dropbox.
With this Debian/Dropbox issue where they don't play well in the sandbox together that is not going to work.

However:
If I save my post files (.ngc) to the cloud at Fusion 360, can I get to them from LinuxCNC file picker somehow?

Thanks in advance

Consider adding a NAS to your network. My Synology NAS supports syncing with DropBox and Google Drive so I let it do the heavy lifting for me and has not missed a beat since I installed it 8 years ago. Then you just need to connect to the NAS via the network.
