# Apple Airport Disks & Ubuntu

You have an Apple Airport with an attached hard drive. You want to access it from Ubuntu.

## Mount

The command is (either setting or replacing the $variables):

    mount -t cifs //$airport_ip/$airport_hd -o username=$airport_username,password=$airport_password,sec=ntlm,uid=$local_uid,gid=$local_gid,iocharset=utf8,_netdev,noexec $local_mount_folder

Notes:

- This is elsewhere on the internet, but the trick for me was the "sec=ntlm" option. Otherwise the mount would fail to login.
- This assumes the disk is secured with user accounts. If setup with just a password, I think the username parameter can be anything.
- Examine and customize the options past "sec=ntlm" as needed.

## Unmount

    sudo umount $local_mount_folder

## Tested

Tested on Ubuntu 15.10.
