I'm trying to set up my personal computer to access my work file shares. I mounted successfully and I can read files just fine, but I have no write access. Here is the line I added to my fstab:

//srvfi/Tests /media/Tests cifs username=dbrown,password=******,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

What do I add?

Usually, this share is automatically added to my account on the Windows 7 of the work computer. I just log into the server with the same information as my Windows log-in.

  • Okay, I can mark this as solved now. After many failed chown's, I realized I should just append the line with file_mode and dir_mode arguments. Working just fine now. Thank you!

Adding an answer here so that I can mark it as solved. Everything worked after I added file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 to the mount line. chown just gave me permission denied errors.
