Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Can I mount Windows NTFS drive? Post 302134562 by cassj on Friday 31st of August 2007 05:17:16 PM

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.
