On Linux Create a local directory and mount the remote share:
Replace with correct values listed below
sudo mkdir /mnt/localalias mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/SharedFolder
- /mnt/: the directory where the share is to be mounted
- localalias: the local alias name(local directory name)
- //server: is your SAMBA computer name (dns or netbios) or hostname
- /share: is the SAMBA share name
- /mnt/SharedFolder: is the shared folder(directory) name being shared by SAMBA
Depending on the access the samba share folder is granted ex: if you give your share ‘Everyone’ read (and write) 777 access nothing else is required, otherwise you must add credentials at mount time:
sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/SharedFolder -o user=user,pass=password,dom=domain
*replace user=[user] and pass=[password] with system credentials
To unmount or remove samba folder
sudo umount /mnt/SharedFolder
On Windows You can Select Mount Network Share to map to MY Computer.
