Linux CIFS client

Setup

There isn't much to setup on the client side. You need to:

and then just mount the remote filesystem like this:
root@osiris:~# mount -t cifs //server-ip/share-name /mnt root@osiris:~# /sbin/mount.cifs //192.168.101.8/Public /mnt
If it is a public share, you will be prompted for a password anyway. Just press enter.
