Linux Mount SMB shared folder

Dependency package: cifs-utils

Mounting an SMB/CIFS share on Linux indirectly calls the mount.cifs utility, that is included within the cifs-utils package.

mount.cifs accepts various options passed as a comma separated list following the -o flag.

Examples as follows

Workgroup or Standalone Server (Windows NT)

mount -t cifs //ntserver/share -o username=user,password=pass /mountpoint

Active Directory (Small Business Server 2003)

mount -t cifs //serverIP/share  /mountpoint -o username=user,password=pass,sec=ntlm.vers=1.0

Synology NAS

mount.cifs //nas.local/share /mountpoint -o user=username,pass=password,vers-2.0
