If you are located outside of the University Campus, you first have to create a VPN connection as explained by the ZDV in this article.Access your MOGON home directory
- Open a
Shell - Use
gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<username>
to access your home directory.

or
gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<share>
e.g.:
gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/scratch gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project
Access the Share via Shell
You can found the share under the following path:
/run/user/<number>/gvfs/smb-share:server=mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de,share=<username>,user=<username>
you can use tab completion once you are in the folder /run/user/.
Open in Terminal
Alternatively you can open the file manager of your OS, browse to the mounted share, right click on a folder and then onOpen in Terminal.
