I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host.
when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc)
smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password
But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following command takes about 10 seconds:
smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/servername -o \ credentials=/path/to/credentials,ro
hey,
sometimes it is not possible to access windows 2003 shares with smbmount command .
Try this command it works for me :
mount -t cifs -o username=valid_user //windows2003machine/share name /mnt/smb(linux mount point).
