If you are using Ubuntu as your operating system, there is a way to access your Box.Net account from the command line. To do this, open a terminal and type the following: boxnet-cmd –login This will start Box.Net and log you in as the user who created the account.
Turns out there is a really easy way to mount your box.net account. Go to Places \ Connect to Server:
You will be presented with this dialog:
For the User Name, enter your own username. Don’t use my username. For Server, enter www.box.net/dav
You can put whatever you want for the “Name to use for connection” textbox. That is the name that will appear on the desktop icon:
Double-click the icon, and you will be presented with an authentication dialog box asking you to login:
I chose to remember my password, because I dislike typing it over and over. That part is really up to you.
You should now be able to access your account.
Tested on: Ubuntu Dapper, Ubuntu Edgy Eft
