I'm trying to mount a NAS that is on my local network. This website tells me to use

$ mount <NAS Ethernet Interface IP>:/share/<Shared Folder Name> <Directory to Mount>

I'm a little unsure what I should provide for shared folder name as well as directory to mount.

Furthermore this mentions to first use $ smbclient -L //<IP> to see the NAS which in my case gives me do_connect: Connection to 192.168.178.54 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

Typically the shared folder name is the name of the folder on the NAS that you want to have available on the Ubuntu machine.

Like Movies or TV.

The directory to mount to is the directory under mnt that you have created as the mount point. You need to create this directory.

The line about SMB requires you to have installed and setup SMB on the Ubuntu machine assuming your NAS supports SMB.
