How do I access my Windows files (i.e. G: drive) from Unix?
Login

[Modified Friday, Nov 7th 2003 by Michael Assels/Andrej Gombar/Murtaza Uddin]

Your G: drive is mapped to a directory on the Unix systems that
you are able to access. To get to your G: drive from the Unix
prompt, type the following:

cd /winhome/u/username
Where u is the first letter of your username.
For example, if your username is j_smith, you would type:

cd /winhome/j/j_smith

You can also create a symbolic link in your Unix home directory so you can access it directly. Let's say you want a link called 'windrive'
in your home directory that will directly take you to your Windows
directory. Using the example user 'j_smith':
ln -s /winhome/j/j_smith ~/windrive

After this, you will be able to access your Windows directory from your
Unix home directory by typing:
cd windrive
