Mount Time Capsule in Linux

I recently decided to swap my home file-server from OpenSuse to FreeNAS. I needed to temporarily copy all the data somewhere, and my Time Capsule seemed to make sense. Only problem was, I’d never mounted it on my Linux box before. It turns out to be really simple though, here’s how:

  1. Create a mount point on your Linux box:
    sudo mkdir /mnt/time_capsule
  2. Mount the Time Capsule to the mount point:
    sudo mount.cifs //IP address/"Time Capsule name"/ /mnt/time_capsule -o pass=password

In my case, the command looked like this:
sudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/"Clay's Time Capsule"/ /mnt/time_capsule -o pass=password

I hope this helps and I really recommend FreeNAS…you should check it out.
