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