Please find below a copy of the relevant part of the page you could not access....

Linux

You can map a network drive to Storage01 using the smbmount utility. You can run the following command as a regular user:

$ smbmount //storage01/share /path/to/mount -o username=myusername,workgroup=campus,uid=mylocalusername,ip=storage01.stevens.edu

* //storage01/share is the mount location. Replacing 'share' with your domain username will map the network drive to your personal storage space. Please read the article on Storage01 for other possible locations.
* /path/to/mount is the location you want to map/mount the network drive at. You can map it to a mountpoint in your current directory such as 'mnt' by not using any slashes (full pathname is also fine)
* username=myusername - myusername should be replaced with your domain username.
* workgroup=campus - this specifies the domain to check your username and password against, leave it like this
* uid=mylocalusername - mylocalusername should be the name of your linux user (whoami will tell you this if you are unsure). This is the user who owns the directory/mountpoint you are mounting/mapping to.
* ip=storage01.stevens.edu - this specifies an "ip address" (a FQDN in this case) to locate Storage01 by. Leave as-is.

When you run this command, you should see a prompt similar to:

Password:

Type in your domain password and press enter. You will now be able to access the file stored on storage01 at the mountpoint you specified.

fusedav

FUSEDAV(1)						      General Commands Manual							FUSEDAV(1)

NAME

       fusedav - mount WebDAV shares

SYNOPSIS

       fusedav [-hDL]
	       [-t secs]
	       [-u username] [-p password]
	       [-o options]
	       URL mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

       fusedav	is a userspace filesystem driver that allows you to mount WebDAV shares. This way you can transparently edit and manage files on a
       remote server. As long as the fusedav process is running, the WebDAV share located at URL is accessible under mountpoint.

       If username and password are required and you did not specify them on the command line you will be prompted as soon as you  are	trying	to
       access the mounted share.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -D     Enable debug mode.

       -L     Lock the repository during mount. (Not properly supported on all servers, hence not enabled by default.)

       -t secs
	      Set lock timeout to secs seconds.

       -u username
	      Use username for authentication if required.

       -p password
	      Use password for authentication if required.

       -o options
	      Pass options as additional mount options to FUSE.

       URL    Location of the WebDAV share.

       mountpoint
	      Local mountpoint of the WebDAV share.
