| + | # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier | ||

| + | ===== Commands to mount ===== | ||
| + | Note | ||
| + | * hello_pc is the name of the Windows Machine | ||
| + | * Using the same name for the mount point name as well | ||
| + | * First do a ls -l /mnt/hello_pc (or whatever is the name of the mount point you want to create). This is to make sure you don't already have one. | ||
| + | * If you do and don't want to use it anymore do an "umount /mnt/hello_pc" (anything else might result in data loss!!!) | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | aptitude install cifs-utils | ||
| + | mkdir -p /mnt/hello_pc | ||
| + | mount -t cifs -o username=hello,password=somepassword //hello_pc/c$ /mnt/hello_pc | ||
| + | cd /mnt/hello_pc/ | ||
| + | ls | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Making the changes permanent (available on reboot) ===== | ||
| + | Add this to /etc/fstab | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | # Adding Windows Share - hello_pc | ||
| + | //hello_pc/c$ /mnt/hello_pc smbfs auto,gid=users,fmask=0664,dmask=0775,iocharset=iso8859-15, credentials=/etc/sambapasswords 0 0 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Create the password file /etc/sambapasswords with the following lines. No spaces before or after '=' on both lines. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | username=hello | ||
| + | password=mypassword | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Secure the sambapasswords file | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | # chown 0.0 /etc/sambapasswords | ||
| + | # chmod 600 /etc/sambapasswords | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Command line connection (not using established shares) ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Command to connect to windows share with samba client | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | smbclient //senthil_lt/C$ -U senthil | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Output | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | Enter senthil's password: | ||
