Unable to mount SMB drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Trying to keep this alive - I'm up against a wall here! 

I can use smbclient and not only see files, but actually download them (with 
get) but I can't mount said Windows share locally to a drive - I universally 
get a "permission denied" error. 

1) I've tried mounting via a line in fstab. 

2) I've tried smbmount with every option I could find. 

3) I've tried using mount with every option I could find. 

How could it work in smbclient with the same credentials, but not as an smb 
mount? Is there something about how the Linux localhost is being announced, 
perhaps?
