How to Mount a Remote NTFS Share for Read/Write under Linux
I've done this in the past, but I didn't save the syntax. I'm still kicking myself about that...
I am trying to mount \\server_name\share_name for read/write under CentOS 5.2 (a "generic" version of RedHat). As I recall, there was a fairly simple (maybe a oneline) command that would allow NTFS to mount under Linux for read/write, without having to install a bunch of RPMs, etc.
I've searched and searched on Google and found all sorts of references to smbfs and cifs. Nothing I've tried has worked this time around.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for syntax that has not been (hopefully will not be) deprecated.
TIA,
J

mount_ntfs
MOUNT_NTFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NTFS(8)
NAME
mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ntfs [-s] [-o options] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi-
cated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any
directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system).
The options are as follows:
-s Mount the volume using case sensitive semantics. This means that you can create files that have names that only differ in case such
as for example "foo" and "Foo". Without this option the volume is mounted using case insensitive semantics in which case if you cre-
ate a file with name "foo" you then cannot create a file named "Foo" or rather if you do create a file named "Foo" it would overwrite
the existing file "foo".
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options
and their meanings.
