The preferred method to access network shares is to configure AutoFS that automounts the network shares when they are accessed. This has the great advantage that no manual mount commands have to executed after a network disconnection. This is very convenient for mobile computers or for computers connected via VPN, but also works fine with permanent connections.

A script is available on spacegit that configures easy access to the file server titania using the campus user account. It has been tested with Ubuntu 20.04, but should also work for other Debian based distributions. The project page can be found here: https://spacegit.unibe.ch/it-public/autofs

Just execute the command below for preparing AutoFS on your system:

bash <(wget -qO- https://spacegit.unibe.ch/it-public/autofs/-/raw/master/autofs.sh)
