writing on a windows share

[jeisma]

hi!

on mdk10.1 system, i included samba during installation. i can browse the windows network, see the domain, workgroups and computers, but i cannot open any share. if i try to, i get an access denied message.

what should i do to write and get files from a windows shared folder?


thanks!

mount -t smbfs -o username=windowsuser,fmask=777,dmask=777 //servername/share /place/to/mount


It should then prompt you for your windows user password. If you are on a domain, reference your user with username=domainname\\windowsusername

hi!

as a root i did:

mount -t smbfs -o 1234=1234,fmask=777,dmask=777 //192.168.0.17/public /mnt/wintspublic

Could not resolve mount point /mnt/wintspublic


Thanks

Create the directory on the Linux system that you are mounting the share into first.

Also, I was playing around with smbmount this week and found that you can also mount the share under a particular uid (Linux system specific though i believe)

ie. uid=apache

You can also pass the password through the smbmount command also if you're putting this command in a startup script.

ie. password=<user_password>

What is the 1234 parameter for?

hello!

thank you.

the 1234 is the username=windowsuser param. just substituting. :-)


good day!!

Thanks for the syntax when using with a domain, I couldn't find that anywhere.

you can simply open your Konqueror and type on the address bar

smb://computer/name/share
