Use the following commands to mount a samba file share onto a local linux machine
sudo mount -t cifs //samba.acrodus.uk/sharing /media/alex/smb -o username=alex
Notes-
cifs stands for common internet file system and is a protocol that is a subset of smb (server message block).
-o option allows to specify parameters for the authentication, this can be a seperate file if required, example below
username=target_user_name password=target_user_password domain=domain
The file share can also be mounted at boot by editing the /etc/fstab with the below
<file system>: //<IP Address of Server>/<Share on Server> <mount point>: <Mount Point> <type>: cifs <options>: credentials=<Credentials Filename>
