hello all,

please suggest how to mount the release \\asdf\bc as drive Z via samba as user such that user should access the share

mount -t cifs -ouser=user \\asdf\bc /media

umount /media

if i do these steps and map network drive from windows is that enough?

would be nice to explain better:
do you want to share a drive on linux or windows? do you want to mount it on windows or linux?
There is no drive Z on linux.
How is your samba currently configured? ....

Also would be nice to give better title.

Hi,

Wanted to mount it on windows as drive Z, already the share is configured.

I just need to add the user to the share
I think once i mount it later i can map network drive

though i set the smbuser and password it showing me as incorrect password.

Your posts are confusing.

What is asdf? What operating system is running on asdf?

What is operating is running on test?

Are you trying to mount asdf/share on test so that you can share it with a windows computer?

Can you explain the scenario a bit better?

Here is what I understand: asdf is a Linux server. On a Windows server, you want to mount a share named bc that is located on asdf. If my understanding is correct, you need to set up Samba on asdf and configure it so that is makes bc available to user user.

The code above doesn't do that. It first mounts a share named bc on a Linux or UNIX system (although you need to replace the backslashes with forward slashes as far as I know). The share is located on a server named asdf. It then immediately unmounts it.

I have a created a samba share and user for the share and then I mapped on windows using a network drive. It worked. Thanks a lot for your suggestions
