mount remote share

[chrisman81]

what is the syntax for mounting a remote shared directory locally?

thanks.

mount -t cifs //remote_comp_name/share_name /local_mountpoint -o user=remote_username

I would suggest creating the local mountpoint(s) in /mnt, just to keep things tidy. For instance, /mnt/share. Also be sure to give the directory the desired permissions.
