From the blog Automaticable<\/a>:<\/p>\n #1 First you will need to install the \u201csmbfs\u201d package. This is what we will use to mount the drive.<\/p>\n sudo aptitude install smbfs<\/p>\n #2 We will also need a folder to mount the drive in. I used \/media\/public.<\/p>\n sudo mkdir \/media\/public<\/p>\n #3 Then, we need to edit \/etc\/fstab. This is where we add all the information needed to find and mount the drive. Open \/etc\/fstab using the command:<\/p>\n gksudo gedit \/etc\/fstab<\/p>\n At the end of the file add the following lines:<\/p>\n Mount our network drive Where \u201cSERVER\u201d is the name of your drive on the network. This can be either a name or IP address. For example, mine was \u201cMAXTOR\u201d. Replace \u201cSHARE\u201d with the folder in the drive you\u2019d like to mount\u2013 mine was \u201cPublic\u201d. \u201cMOUNT-POINT\u201d is the directory we created earlier, such as \u201c\/media\/public\u201d. The rest of the parameters have to do with permissions, and also where you can add advanced options. For more information on the advanced preferences, see<\/p>\n man mount.smbfs<\/p>\n #4 The final step is to tell the system to reload \/etc\/fstab and mount our drive. Do this with the command:<\/p>\n sudo mount -a<\/p>\n Then, you\u2019re done! At this point you should be able to see the files in your drive with the command<\/p>\n ls \/MOUNT-POINT<\/p>\n More info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ubuntu is a great distribution of linux – setup is quick and painless.
