I have what I think is called an IP alias, which is used to access a Windows file server from a Unix server. The path on Unix looks something like:/folder/file.txtwhich is somehow resolved as:\\server\folder\file.txtThis is used within an ftp command from a SAS program running on Unix. I know very little about Unix, but I believe the alias is configured on Unix itself (not by the SAS server). As a normal (non-root) user, is there a way of looking up this alias and seeing the IP address it refers to? Or even better, a list of aliases and their IP addresses?Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology? My Google searches have turned up command aliases, but otherwise I've found very little helpful information.(I originally asked this on SU, but didn't get an answer: https://superuser.com/q/561921/113542)
