Mounting windows remote folder(already shared in the network))

Suppose you have a directory on a windows machine, shared in the network.

We want to point, and mount, this folder, in read/write mode, on our Debain system.

We need the smbfs and samba-common packages.

apt-get install smbfs samba-common

echo 'smbfs' >> /etc/modules

mkdir /home/pippo/empty_directory
mount -t smbfs -o username=pippo //windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory 

or

mount -t smbfs -o username=pippo,password=pluto //windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory

If you want that the folder should be mounted automatically at the system startup edit the /etc/fstab file and

insert the below line:

//windows_machine_ip/remote_and_shared_folder /home/pippo/empty_directory smbfs defaults,user,noauto,username=pippo,password=pluto 0 0
