Install cifs-utils and samba-client

  • sudo apt install cifs-utils samba-client -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 for ANYONE...


  • sudo mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD,uid=1000,gid=1000 //SERVERNAME/SHARENAME ~/MOUNTPOINT

Allows full access by the user with UID 1000 & GID 1000...


(Gotta be a better way...)

Persistent mounting

  • sudo vi /etc/fstab

Add a line:

Check it out

  • ls /MOUNTPOINT
