Smbmount

From HowToGeek

Jump to: navigation, search

The smbmount command-line application is used to mount a shared folder from a Linux client using the Samba networking services.

Using smbmount

You can simply use the smbmount command from the command line like so:

smbmount //servername/sharename /localfolder -o username=user,password=pass

You could also use the mount command with the smbfs type, like mount -t smbfs. You should note that smbclient and smbmount cannot directly mount a subfolder of a shared folder. You will need to mount the share, and then use a symlink to the desired folder if you choose.
