Can I mount Windows NTFS drive?

Just inherited a windows server to support. Windows 2003 Enterprise edition

I can view driver / folders on the windows NTFS volume by mapping a drive from my windows laptop..
Can I mount this from a unix server also?


I heard you can use Microsoft Services for Network File System Administration - and this will allow you to connect from unix / map a drive using nfs - but I didnt want to have to install anything new on the windows server.

Any suggestions?

You can do that with Linux and Samba (mount -t smbfs), otherwise I think you cannot.

Have a look at this: Mounting CIFS share

For mounting a Windows network share, this works like a charm for me:

Code:
sudo mount -t cifs //path/to/your/server /mnt/windows -o username=yourUserName,password=yourPassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
NOTE: the directory "/mnt/windows", your local mount point, must already exist. I name mine based on whatever network share I'm mounting.
