Mount afp share over command line

April 29, 2010 – 1:15 pm

This is so useful to me that I have to repost it here, just in case it disappears.

# create a folder for the mount point
sudo mkdir /Volumes/music

# mount the disk
mount -t afp afp:/// /Volumes/music/

#refresh the finder for when you get back
disktool -r

# when you're done
sudo umount /Volumes/music

You can also do this via the ‘open’ command:

open afp://

The name of the share point will become the mount point under /Volumes

Then you can umount:

umount /Volumes/

Sudo not required (in my limited testing).

Seems as though items after “/” get stripped out here.
