Install cifs-utils

  • sudo apt install cifs-utils -y

Create a mount point

  • sudo mkdir /MOUNTPOINT

Mount the share

  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD //SERVERNAME/SHARENAME ~/MOUNTPOINT

Permissions

Changing that mount command to

  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666 //SERVERNAME/SHARENAME ~/MOUNTPOINT

allows actual access...

(Gotta be a better way...)

Check it out

  • ls /MOUNTPOINT

Usage Notes

If you've installed samba-client, you'll have smbclient available.

List shares available

  • sudo smbclient -L HOSTNAME
