Debian Wheezy: mounting windows shared folder

First of all install cifs-utils smbclient packets, to browse and mount net folders..
So from command line:
apt-get install smbclient cifs-utils

Then you need to create a local folder to map remote folder
mkdir /home/username/example_folder

Then you can mount the remote folder by executing this:
mount -t cifs -o username=remote_pc_username //remote_pc_ip_address/remote_folder_shared_name /home/username/example_folder

Where:
remote_pc_username is the username of remote pc
remote_pc_ip_address is the remote ip address
remote_folder_shared_name is the name that the shared folder has into the local net.

Example 2:
mount -t cifs -o username=pippo //192.168.1.2/shared /home/pluto/example_folder


Terminal will prompts to you the password request....
Give it and then you will have correctly mapped your remote folder into your local example_folder


Bye..

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
