How to add samba share to your file system? And how to make this change persistent so the share is mounted automatically at boot time?
Manually you can mount it using mount command into for instance ~/Video, like
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=John,password=JohnsP@ssw0rd,rw,hard,nosetuids,noperm,sec=ntlm //192.168.1.2/Video ~/Video
The command above mounts network share drive Video on IP 192.168.1.2 to user’s home directory ~/Video using logon credentials (to access the share drive) name=John, password=P@ssw0rd
To keep this mount persistent, you have to edit /etc/fstab and add an entry like this
//192.168.1.2/Video /home/LOCAL_USER/Video cifs auto,user,rw,uid=LOCAL_USER,gid=LOCAL_GROUP,workgroup=WORKGROUP,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/LOCAL_USER/.secret/smb 0 0
And in /home/USER/.secret/smb you have to put the logon credentials
username=John
password=P@ssw0rd
