You may heard about smbmount, smbfs or cifs. Yes if you are looking for how to mount a point to access to other machine through samba, you come to a right page.
How to mount a samba point might be vary at different linux distro, I ll recomment you at least read the manuals at your distro. I am here just to show you the common way. To mount a samba point, you must have smbfs compiled in your kernel, but I think it should be there by default on nowadays distro.
For the case of ubuntu, you may want to install smbfs using apt-get
sudo apt-get install smbfsYou can mount a samba point by using the common mount command. Yes, no need to use smbmount, but with smbmount it just does the same. (Some distro not even have smbmount, in my case FC5)
You can specified a type of file system by using -t, this is what we going to use.
sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-dWith command line about, it mount to directory /mnt/win-d, the remote host is at 192.168.1.1, shared directory “d”.
To specified username, uses -o
sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurfaceYou can check out the service that shared from a remote host using smbclient -L.
To do with smbmount, do this
sudo smbmount //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurfaceBut, FC5 smbfs doesn’t work, if your distro doesn’t work with smbfs, it probably uses cifs. cifs is “Common Internet File System”, whatever it call, just change smbfs to cifs, it will works the same way. FC5 also have mount.cifs, it works like smbmount.
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurfacesudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurface

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

If you are not experts enough then you can take help from photoshop expert company like and
so on. While in cases of e-commerce it is marvelous and helps clothes fly off the shelves,
in other cases it may have other effects. The v-line or
neckline of the garment is visible and so are the other body contours.
