Title: smbmount
Post by: Tim Bynum on February 20, 2001, 06:37:08 AM

I am attempting to mount a Windows share to an ibay on e-smith.  The share in windows is \computername\e-smithshare.  

Has anyone had any experience doing this?

My first attempt was to use

     mount -t smbfs -o password=mypassword //computeraname/e-smithshare /home/e-smith/files/ibays/myibay/files

(all one line).  This mounted the share, but I cound not access any of the files listed there.  Every time I try an 'ls -l" from ssh (logged in as root), I get a list of the files and directories with 'No such file or directory' listed next to it.

Can anyone help?
