Mounting a Windows Share from Linux
May 20th, 2007 by Giovanni
I’m putting this here as I regularly forget the syntax and wading through the man page for mount isn’t the most transparent. Well it’s probably ok but with the millions of options:
The following is all on one line:
mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx
//WinShareIPNo/public
localMountDir
So if I’m a local user on a Linux box, to mount a directory from the Windows running at IP 10.0.0.5 whose share name is Public, and mount it as /mnt/public on the local machine, the command would be:
mount -t smbfs -o username=Mary
//10.0.0.5/Public
/mnt/public
This was mainly for me but it might help someone ….
