Title: aMule and ethernet disk
Post by: belvi on June 19, 2007, 01:44:51 PM

Hi, I'd like to have the incoming folder in my pc win's  shared folder (mounted on the desktop), but I can't do that....
my OS is Ubuntu 7.04 (aMule 2.1.3) and  I write in the textbox in the "Preferences->Directory->downloaded files directory" the string "smb://pcwin/Documenti/Incoming" but this doesn't work...
aMule says that  it can't create the incoming folder in that location
what can I do?

in the future I'd like to buy an ethernet disk, but if with aMule is not possible saving the downloaded files in a ethernet storage I will not buy it...

sorry for my english

You first have to properly mount the folder to your local file system, then you can use it in aMule as well.

(something like mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=user,password=pw)

smb://pcwin/Documenti/Incoming

This is not directory path. This is kind URL-like path, which GNOME/KDE use to address smb resources. IMHO, wx can't access such paths.
There's however, workaround for the issue. If you own Ethernet disk, which is constantly online, you can mount it thru /etc/fstab to real filesystem path and then use at aMule.
