Upload Files via a Website from a Network Share -- Failing!
by goldennuggets from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FAYS)
What I'm Trying to Accomplish
Upload images (drag and drop or from file browser upload screen) to Dreamstime via a samba network share.
What I've Tried
This does not work, but does work when the files are local on the computer.
I used to use Autofs, but switched from a large desktop computer to a raspberry pi and an external SSD, and cannot for the life of me get autofs to work on the computers on the network with the pi. I've spent hours trying to configure the auto.fs files and nothing works, the mount directories just disappear when I restart the service and there's no access...
So, we're currently simply accessing the network via smb://networkshare.local
The files are clearly visible but do not upload to websites. (we also cannot open them from a file browser in programs like Libre Office but we can double-click on them and they load and save just fine.)
What I'd Like to Have
I'd like to have the network share automatically mounted and acting like a local filesystem (which is what autofs accomplished, and avoided all the fstab mounting mess when the network went down --T-mobile's router and internet often bomb and need reset and this threw the entire system into a tizzy when I wasn't using autofs).
Any tips/ideas/suggestions on how I can either upload from the network or how I can simply accomplish having the network share automounted?
