mount -t cifs -o user=reader%XXPASSWDXX //harvey/harvey-c /mnt/
harvey-c
The directory /mnt/harvey-c has to be created ahead of time.
The user reader needs to have an account on that windows machine.
You'll need a windows user account username and password. If you
don't use passwords for windows shares I think you can just leave out
the %SECRET_PASS, but I'm not sure exactly.
Once the device is mounted locally you can read/write to/from it in
scripting, then umount it at the end of the script.
Thanks for the reply, I think I didn't make the problem clear enough.
I have a usb server running on my network with 2 external disks
connected to
it. I can read and write to them using smb://lkg5f.homenet.com/
DISK 2/ with
no problems.
I need to mount these drives so that I can run a backup script to
backup all
of my gentoo system. I have tried smbmount and mount -t smbfs but
even after
reading man mount and smbmount I am still unclear as to the correct
format.
mount -t smbfs //lkg5f.homenet.com/DISK 2 /mnt/someplace
if the share is password protected, after the smbfs, add -o
username=whatever,password=whatever
only root will be able to do this. You might want to try to avoid
spaces in your share names in the future...just makes things easier
on the unix side.
