Import from network share

[Tim Stumbo]

Is it possible to import a folder of .EML files utilizing a network share?

I tried using the following command without any luck.

pilerimport -d \172.17.1.15\EML

I've looked through all the tickets and searched the WEB but haven't found anything on this.

Thanks

Yes.

First mount the network share as a directory.

Where can I find that command in the documentation, I've looked through it but don't see it. Thanks

This is linux, the mount commands are specific to what ever you are mounting. eg. SSHFS / SSMB / NFS

Extremeshok is right, you need the to mount somehow the share to the archive. The exact command depends on what kind of share you have. Provide more information, and we may give further hints.

Wanted to post what I found just in case someone else needs help with this issue.

I had to install the cifs utility by using this command "apt-get install cifs-utils"

I then was able to mount the network share containing my EML files using this command...

mount -t cifs -o username=administrator,password=password-here 172.17.1.15:/EML /mnt/EML

Thanks for the help!

Ok I thought I had it working. I know the mounted folder is correct because I can look into the directory and see the EML files.

However, when I run the command pilerimport -d ~/mnt/EML I'm getting an error stating "cannot write current directory!"

See the FAQ for the answer. Also it's worth to read the docs, it also explains the situation.
