Ever wonder how you can mount a Windows share on your Linux box? Well it’s actually quite simple. I typically set up a special user for my windows shares, so in this example we’ll use a user with both a name and password of “lan” with a folder called “shared” which has been set up so that it is shared for that specific user.
Now on the linux box, just type in:
sudo mkdir /mnt/shared sudo mount -t cifs -o username=lan,password=lan,rw //192.168.20.2/shared /mnt/shared
Just make sure to replace the IP with your own and it should work flawlessly!
