Mount a SMB Network Drive with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (pcf) and access it using NodeJS

Connect to the Apps Manager and navigate to the space where you want to mount the drive. Look at the members, and make sure your user has the correct roles:

Then in a console, connect and log into the pcf space (something like cf login and cf -s APPNAME).

Next, try the command cf create-service smb Existing Files_Share -c '{\"share\":\"//server.name.domain.com/Files_Share\"}' (the backslashes are important if you’re on Windows).

Now you can bind the service with cf bind-service APPNAME Files_Share -c '{\"username\":\"username_without_domain\",\"password\":\"network_password\",\"mount\":\"/mnt/Files_Share\"}'
