Here is the sweet little

/etc/fstab entry that mounts the Netgear ReadyShare folder at boot time to a local folder on my linux desktop(Fedora 18!). Theoretically, it mounts when you first access the mount point.

Brilliant, this worked for me. I had spent the best part of two days trying to figure out a good way to transfer 30 gigs of music and videos from a desktop Windows 10 machine to a old Macbook that I converted to a Linux computer, and nothing seemed to work and it was complicated dealing with IP addresses, routers and so on. The effect of this single line of code combined with a Netgear router is that you can take any kind of data on a Windows formatted USB micro card, or from a phone, and get it onto a Linux computer as easily as onto another Windows machine, without hugely complicated setups, multiple downloads, configuring files, and so on. Hallelujah.
