How to have my Samba share show in file directory

Lots of information that is 100% correct and 100% confusing to a new user. :wink:

First read this:

Then read that:

then edit your fstab to ensure your Samba shares are mounted at startup and become visible inside your local file system :+1: (The standard to do that is inside /mnt or /media)

If you would run into specific issues trying that, please leave another message.

Looking at the information already provided, this would do what you want:

# Create NAS mountpoint
sudo mkdir /mnt/NAS
mount -t cifs //192.168.50.112/home /mnt/NAS -o username=james,password=JamesPassword,domain=WORKGROUP`

Where obviously james is the samba share’s username and JamesPassword, is that username’s password and WORKGROUP is the actual workgroup name

If that works, add the following line as the last line on your fstab:

//192.168.50.112/home /mnt/NAS cifs uid=1001, username=james,password=JamesPassword,domain=WORKGROUP`

and for old time’s sake reboot. In Linux you never need to reboot for anything, just execute mount -a and that should do the trick.
:innocent:
