Mount SAMBA NFS share folder on linux

Access to a SAMBA file share from a file explorer

Juste enter the address of your share like:

smb://<IP or HOST>/<Folder>

Example:

Mount samba folder from terminal via shell command

Hear, for the example, we weill mount smb://192.168.0.1/DATA to /media/DATA

NOTE : The folder /media/DATA must exist (mkdir /media/DATA)

Example 1:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/DATA -o username=USER,password=SAMBA-PASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, /media/DATA

Example 2: mount as user=me

Mount samba share automatically on boot of linux (CIFS)

Edit the file /etc/fstab and add your share (nano /etc/fstab)

Example 1 :

//192.168.0.1/DATA /media/DATA/ cifs nofail,rw 0 0

Example 2 :

//192.168.0.1/DATA /media/DATA/ cifs nofail,rw,guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0

Example 3 : with User and Password via

//192.168.0.1/DATA /media/DATA/ cifs nofail,rw,guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,auto,users,credentials=/root/data/.smbcred 0 0
