This worked for me in one computer, but when I tried it on a production server of a friend's, it shows an error about the folder being read-only.
- Windows XP sp2 and a RHEL4 U4.
- I'm positive that I set the share folder to allow read and write access for Everybody (in windows)
- the shared folder is on a fat32 system
- created /mnt/winshare directory on the linux system already.
I'm using the command:
Code:
mount -t cifs -o username=Administrator,workgroup=WORKGROUP,uid=root,gid=root //202.57.35.10/winshare /tmp/winshare
This is the error when I'm mounting the folder:
Code:
Block device: //202.57.35.10/winshare is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device //202.57.35.10/winshare read-only
And this is the /var/log/messages
Code:
14:06:01 mail kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
14:06:01 mail kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failes w/return code = -13
What may be wrong?
btw samba is not installed in the linux system (maybe its due to that, but no I'm not hosting a share for windows to see, I'm accessing a share from windows to be mounted locally)
thanks in advance.
