I can use the following command to log into a samba share on my network:
smbclient -L //host.name.com -U myUser --workgroup=WORK
where myUser
is my username and WORK
is the name of the workgroup. I can also access this share via Places->Connect to Network without issues.
However, I can't mount the drive permanently. Here's what I did after following the Ubuntu instructions on mounting a sambda share permanently:
I have created a file called ~/.smbcredentials
and run chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials
:
user=WORK/myUser
password=pass
(where pass
is my password)
I have also added the following line to my /etc/fstab
:
//host.name.com/ /media/share cifs credentials=/home/myUser/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
I have also run sudo mkdir /media/share
.
However, when I run sudo mount -a
I see the following:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
What am I doing wrong?
sudo chmod 777 /media/share
, same result. – quant Aug 17 '15 at 6:25chmod 777 ~/.smbcredentials
as well. – quant Aug 17 '15 at 6:27
