Network File Sharing Brainfart
 

I can't for the life remember how to map a network drive from my linux server to a linux machine.... Kinda sad I know :(

I have tried putting in a generic line in my fstab that says //host.server1.com/share /media/share nfs

I have also tried it with cifs. I am honestly only familiar with creating shares between Linux and Windows (usually accessing windows share through linux). So I do have Samba installed not that I can imagine that is required.

I have also tired to access the share through browsing my network on my Ubuntu desktop. I find the Server, I find the Share'd folder, but it prompts me for a login and password. I put in root, and the associating password, but I'm not sure what the workgroup should be? I have tired many combinations including just leaving it workgroup and it just keeps kicking back and "access Denied" error, or wrong username/password.

Any thoughts?

mite i suggest sshfs

else for nfs:
mkdir /mnt/temp && sudo mount host.com:/path/to/dir /mnt/temp # /path/to/dir has to be in the hosts /etc/exports

To access windows shares through linux you need the smb client installed only (samba server not needed).

If you have access to the server look up the smb.conf file, and search for a line called

the sshfs worked beautifully!
