I have created shared folder (common_folder) on Linux, which I want to access by Windows as well as Linux System.

Programming language is Java. I am using "//IP address/common_folder" as folder path so that it will be accessible to both Linux and Windows.

{{ File folder = new File("//IP address/common_folder"); }}

When I am trying to get the folder using above line in Linux machine, it gives folder path as: "/root/eclipse///IP address/common_folder". However I want only '//IP address/common_folder' as a folder path because my folder is available on that path.

How to get the folder of mentioned path in Linux using java?

  • You can create a symbolic link or mount so //hostname points to the same thing as windows mounts. You can setup automounts to do the same thing automagically. Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 11:43

  • In linux you can add mount points to anywhere you need them to be, either statically or dynamically, If you add a mount point for //hostname or //IPaddress it will point to either the samba or nfs mount of your choice. In any case, how File is used to fine files/directories this is entirely down to OS configuration rather than Java. Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 12:03
