This page is definitely a WIP...

Install cifs-utils and samba-client

  • sudo apt install cifs-utils samba-client -y

Create a mount point

  • sudo mkdir /MOUNTPOINT

Mount the share

At Need Mounting

  • 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: 

//SERVERNAME/SHARENAME     /MOUNTPOINT     cifs user,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,_netdev	0	0

Notes:

The user option allows you to mount the shares without sudo
The _netdev option is important since we are mounting a network device. Clients may hang during the boot process if the system encounters any difficulties with the network.

Or

Create a credentials file:

  • sudo vi /etc/MountCreds
username=USER
password=PASSWORD
  • sudo vi /etc/fstab

Add a line: 

//SERVERNAME/SHARENAME     /MOUNTPOINT     cifs user,credentials=/etc/MountCreds,_netdev	0	0

Manually mount the filesystems:

  • mount -a

Check it out

  • ls /MOUNTPOINT

Usage Notes

List shares available

  • sudo smbclient -L HOSTNAME
