The mount equivelant is: mount -t smbfs // servername/ sharename / mountdirectory -o username= mywindowsusername,password= mywindowspassword Throughout this document I’ll use smbmount instead of mount -t smbfs.Īn example would look like this: smbmount // servername/ sharename / mountdirectory -o username= mywindowsusername,password= mywindowspassword When you use mount -t smbfs, the mount program actually passes the command over to smbmount for execution. To mount an smbfs share from a Linux workstation at the command line, you can use either the smbmount command or use mount -t smbfs. So I unmount it using the umount umount /customers/ Mounting Samba Share Using Command Line No command ‘smbumount’ found, did you mean:Ĭommand ‘smbmount’ from package ‘smbfs’ (main) I tried to unmount the samba share using smbumoutn, but received this message smbumount /customers/ This Is Home.mp3 Kalimba.mp3 Pia Toscano ++ This Time.mp4 You can then access the samba shares via linux cd lsġ5. googlerunslinux/ken_stuff/ on /customers type cifs (rw,mand) Then type mount to check that the share is successfully mounted. The above command mount the samba share ken_stuff on the /customers directory. # smbmount //googlerunslinux/ken_stuff /customers -o username=ken They work just like mount and umount for SMB shares. Smbfs comes with two simple utilties, smbmount and smbumount.

Where ‘service’ is a machine and share name. To use the client, run: /usr/bin/smbclient service WORKGROUP browse list shows other SMB servers with resources to share on the network.
