Networking :: Mapping Folder To Windows Drive?
Feb 4, 2010
I'm have a server running linux ver: Linux version 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl (bhcompile@daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-6)) #1 Wed Oct 29 15:42:51 EST 2003
from my windows xp machine I can see that there are three shared folders using : 1- run then \10.1.2.4 I can map tow of these folders to a network drive using the root credentials. but when I tried to map the third one (it was mapped before) I got the following errors: first asking to insert the password again [URL]
then: asking to put the password but as a gust [URL]

I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics.
Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.

I'st just installed 10.10 on Virtual Box. I'm trying to map some windows drives (On the host) permanently. Using Places->Connect To Server etc I can connect to my windows box no problem and see the directories etc in Nautilus (2.32.0) all ok.But rebooting the system results in my having to log in again - I've looked atis that the only what to get this to work permanently?Also, and more importantly K-Develop (And possibly others) can't see this mapped drive when I want to open a file from it? What would be the problem here?

I am working on a few different Linux related self-education projects, and I'm trying to stump myself as much as possible so I can learn as quickly as possible. Using VMWare, I have several Linux and Windows flavors I am using for various purposes. To the point, I have an Ubuntu server (text only) and a Fedora desktop installed, and I need to figure out how to map a drive on the Fedora VM so that I can access it on the Ubuntu server VM. I have installed Samba on both, and I can send a ping from one to the other with no problems. I guess I just need some help with the command line syntax?
On a related note, I have NOT been able to figure out how DNS works in a setup like this, so when I say I can ping them, it is by IP address only. I'll work on the DNS stuff soon, but for right now, I just need access to my Fedora VM, unless for some reason you can ONLY set this up via DNS.
Ubuntu server 192.168.28.133
Fedora desktop - 192.168.28.130
Folder I need to access: [Fedora desktop]/home/[username]/downloads/

Samba up and running on my pc. pc runs FC12 with kde. A laptop has win vista. The pc can access the shares on the laptop but the laptop has authentication issues to access the pc. Note that windows doesnt enforce authentication forincoming network connections.Using the system-config-samba util i tried to map a windows user to the unix user "feduser". The laptop (named LAPPY) has a user (lapuser) which has on windows no password.What should I tell samba config what the windows username should be? lapuser or LAPPYlapuser doesnt work because when accessing the pc via the laptop, the authentication fails. The only auth that is successful is when choosing the same winusername as the unix username.
Secondary, id like to setup the laptop so that the user doesnt have to provide a name and password, or at least not more then once in the lifetime of the laptop. Note that you cant provide an empty password to system-config-samba. How is that possible?
Strange but not really on issue imho:the samba - KDE control module(kcmshall4) (and the smb.conf) shows 2 shares: the homedirs and the data dir the samba server configurator (system-config-samba) shows only the datadir.

I've some how managed to map to a shared drive on my Synology NAS, but can only access it through the terminal when logged in as root. The share is mounted in the "mnt" directory, which I can't access when using the file manager application (as a user).
Update:
so I carried out the actions below and I can no see the share in my home directory, but can't access it. Is this because I done it with root?
root@D8:/home/user# mkdir share_nas
root@D8:/home/user# ls
Desktop Downloads Picturesshare_nas Videos
Documents Music PublicTemplates
root@D8:/home/user# mount 192.168.0.2:/volume1/NAS_share /home/user/share_nas

I'm trying to find a software which could map sftp/scp services to a windows drive letter. I know there are quite a bunch of those available, but i haven't found a single one which could run with SYSTEM or Netservice privileges or have decent command line options so i could elevate the program myself. The mapped drive should be available for other services running on the same server.
Most of the programs (sftp netdrive, expandrive, etc) have only option to startautomatically only when someone logs in. Because of that they are useless to me.Their inability to handle non-interactive starts is a bummer too. FTP->SFTP wrappers don't count as solution despite of integrated windows support for ftp drives. The way they are handled in windows makes ftp mapping unusable without some external ftp drive mapper software.

Currently when I press the windows key nothing happens. However, I can get some events from this key. xev displays the following event information:

I am having the following problems with samba.
1. I cant share a folder on an external USB drive. (I have no problem doing so in UBUNTU)
2. I cannot seem to get Samba Swat to work.
I've Tried 127.0.0.1:901
my ip address:901
severname:901
I made sure that xinet was installed and started as well as smb and nmb. I can access other shares on the server just cant get samba swat to work nor can I set up a share on an External USB. I can access it from my side but not my Wifes side. I even made the root of the drive a share like so:
in smb.conf
[FreeAgent Drive]
comment=Shared Server Drive
path= /media/FreeAgent Drive
read only = no
browseable = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
valid users = argedion, perky
what am i missing or doing wrong? I have a simular set up on a server running UBUNTU 10.10 and it is sharing paths from a USB external. (note: I did not have to share the root of the drive in ubuntu.)
I know that Fedora is not UBUNTU nor GOD willing will it ever be. forgot to mention that firewall is off and i cannot access it even as root

I've found that simply sharing a folder on my Ubuntu PC with other Linux PC's on my network proves unwieldy from an 'ownership' standpoint. For example, if I create a file from my Ubuntu Laptop and save it onto my Ubuntu Desktop 'share', I find that if I try to access it from the Desktop that the group/ownership prevents my access so I end up having to chown it. I'm finding sharing in a mixed environment to be a pain.
So, I recently configured an old desktop box with FreeNAS and I want to move all of my files from my main Ubuntu PC over to it, and have those files accessible from various clients (both Windoze and Linux) from thoughout my network. Now I've got the FreeNAS all set up and shared, and I'm ready to transfer files to it. What's the best way to mount Mr. FreeNAS on my various desktops and laptops such that sharing is not a problem from a security (group/owner) standpoint? Should I be using CIFS/SAMBA or is NFS mounting better? Will there be sharing problems or ownership issues when accessing from Windows?

I have a network drive setup on windows to a samba share that is on ubuntu 9.1. The folder im connecting to has a couple symbolic links setup and all of them give me an Access denied error when I try to open them. I have dont everything I can think off including chowning all the folders to the user that Im logged in as and doing chmod 777 on all folders and files. I have tried deleting the link and recreating it and nothing works. This was working fine a few days ago and now it doesn't.

I successfully installed Samba, but have problem with access to any shared folder on my secondary drive. If I try access secondary drive with admin user, everything is fine. If with another account try to access via samba to shared folder on partition with Ubuntu, everything is fine again. Every folder has set privileges to read&write to everyone, so shouldn't be problem here.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to access a folder within a Windows share from an Ubuntu 10.04 computer. I work at a school which uses a Windows network. Each class has one login and a folder for their work. All the folders are in one Windows share called //fses/class$. Each class does not have access to //fses/class$ (otherwise a student from one class would be able to access another class's folder) - they only have access to their own folder e.g. //fses/class$/3b.
When I try to access a class's folder from an Ubuntu computer I get an error that //fses/class$ cannot be accessed. I've got around it for the moment by using a teacher's credentials, but that's not ideal because then the students have access to other classes' work. I also tried using the 'mount' command e.g.
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=3b,password=**** //fses/class$/3b /media/3b
This did work (although I know it'd be better to use cifs and a credentials file), but only a 'superuser' can do it, and it mounts the folder for all users. I could also give the students superuser permission for the mount command, but this seems like giving them more permission than should really be necessary. Is there any way for a user who is not a superuser to access the folder? I'd like to use something like this.
nautilus username=3b,password=**** smb://fses/class$/3b

I use F10 at home and while away from work on my laptop. Recently I could get the VPN sorted out ( I can now connect to the vpn (ppp0) server at work from home or anywhere else). I am trying to mount a windows folder that is on the work server on my F10 box at home through the VPN connection that is first established.What I know about the windws server
servername
sharename
username
password
When I try this
sudo mount -t cifs //pxxxx/home/abcd /mnt/dir/ -o username=abcd,password=xxxx
I get this error
mount error: could not resolve address for pxxxx: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found
I think the VPN connection is established successfully. I have a ppp0 connection under ifconfig with an IP address after vpn connection is established.In windows I just map the network drive (\pxxxxhome) username=abcd, password=xxxx and mount the folder as "abcd on pxxxxhome"

Was trying out Fedora 15 but could figure out something: How do I share a folder?
When doing some Googling all I could find were forum posts on how to manually configure samba with smb.conf (a place I refuse to go, its 2011 people), and gnome-user-share which only shares ~/Public and doesn't show up on my Windows computer.
I do know that at least in Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome 2 all I had to do was right click on a folder at click Sharing. I'm looking for similar ease of use in Fedora.

I just got a new PC with 2TB of HDD space and it's running Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit. I have created a user for networking, called share and have created a folder within the home folder called public. I then shared the folder and gave 777 access to it as I want this to be public - but for my local network and my later for ssh access. I have installed samba, and under the sharing options I allowed for guest logins and people to write and delete from folder. SO how would I be able to "see" this from my windows machine? It's running XP pro and it has a domain other than workgroup - but that shouldn't affect it should it?
Also, the laptop with XP is on the wireless with and internal IP of 10.0.0.135 and my PC is on the LAN connection with and internal IP of 10.0.0.1 I'm sort of familiar with networks, but I have NO clue as to how to do this.

I have been learning about P2P networks and have been experimenting with all kinds of operating systems. I figured out how to share and access Windows shared files on other Windows computers.
Now I'm trying to access Windows shared folders from Linux operating systems.
Here's the deal. I created a shared folder on Windows 2000 Professional. I want to open it from Kubuntu 10.04.
I am not running Virtualbox. These are separate operating systems on separate computers.

I have two computers running Ubuntu 9.10, both have one shared folder. These were set up via Nautilus.
On computer 1 I can see and use the shared folder of computer 2 just fine.
On computer 2 I can NOT see the shared folder of computer 1 anymore since recently. I has worked in the past.
Some more information: the name of computer 1 is "daniel", the share name is "gedeeld". So the address of the shared folder of computer 1 would be smb://daniel/gedeeld/
Opening this address in Nautilus works fine on computer 1 (that shares the folder), but results in an error on computer 2.
Error: failed to mount Windows share. Please select another viewer and try again.

OK, this is really little to do with Linux, as my question really involves my Vista Home machines. Anyone know good methods to have Windows Vista (Home Edition) machines stay mapped to a SAMBA share on a Linux server? I'm using user-level security on the server (Ubuntu Server 10.10), and it (generally) works really well, but I can't get the rest of my family to use it, as (understandably), they don't want to have to type in their password to the share every time they log in to the Vista machines (or my one XP machine left, for that matter), plus the problems when it occasionally decides it's already tried to connect once and failed, and refuses to "restore" the connection, ugh. I currently have one Win7 machine, and surprisingly, with the Win7 Home Premium edition, it actually "remembers" the passwords to the SAMBA shares.
