Manual mount
On your terminal type choose on the ffollowing command depending your need
For a samba server with password protection:
Code:
sudo mount -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o sername=winusername,password=winpassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
If your samba share does not require a password just use the following line instead:
Code:
sudo mount t -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
If your guest access does not allow write access, just remove the file and dir modes like so:
Code:
sudo mount -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o guest,iocharset=utf8
Permanent mount
create a file using the following instruction and command
Code:
nano /etc/fstab
and at the end of the file, insert one (1) of the following 3 lines according to your needs. Make sure you change "netbiosname" and "sharename" to the correct names for the server you are trying to connect to. (if you don't know what these are, please see the next post)
For a password protected share with read/write permission.
Code:
//netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename cifs credentials=.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8
For a non-password protected share with read/write permission use this instead:
Code:
//netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename cifs guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
