mounting a windows share as a windows user
mount -t smbfs \\WindowsServer\BackupFolder \mntPoint\Folder
This makes the connection ok and I can read files there, but I can't write to it so I tried:
mount -t smbfs -o rw \\WindowsServer\BackupFolder \mntPoint\Folder
This still doesn't allow me to write, so I tried this:
mount -t smbfs -o rw \\WindowsServer\BackupFolder \mntPoint\Folder -o username=WindowsUser,password=Passwd
Where WindowsUser is a user on the WindowsServer with "Full Control" of the folder I want to write to.
This still doesn't allow me to write. When I look at the WindowsServer it shows up as user Guest is logged in! What I need is force the connection of the WindowsUser.
This may or may not be a red herring, but I notice that if I log on using any username and passwd it still lets me read, even the correct one but with the wrong passwd!
I've tried searching for this and can't see it anywhere else, so maybe someone here can help me out...
