Acer Aspire One how to mount samba share

Posted on October 7, 2008 by admin

First open a terminal, click alt f2, and type terminal.

Create the folder where you want it to be mounted.

mkdir ~/share

To mount the share use the below command.

sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=guest

If the share is writable, then use the below command.

sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=guest,rw

Example if the share needs a password.

sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username

You don’t need to enter password in command, you will be prompted if a password is needed. Thanks Peter for the info.

    Brilliant starting point. But leave the password because you will be prompted for it. So:
    sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username

    or switch to root and do:
    mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username

    In both cases just provide the password you are prompted for.

    No ip address specified and hostname not found

    Did you change “ip” with the correct IP address of the computer with the share on it?
