Mapping a drive in Debian

[dbarne03]

Ok - first, i'm a noob, - second, I am in over my head.  I am attempting to install Plex on my banana Pro - which i did.  Up and working just fine.  http://www.htpcguides.com/install-plex-media-server-on-banana-pi-with-bananian/

 

The issue that i'm having is that I am having trouble mapping/mounting a drive.  I am using this command but get an error:

 

mount –t cifs //networkip/share /local/linux/folder –o username=usernameonwindowsmachine,password=passwordforwindowsmachine

 

I put in: "mkdir /mnt/nas" - and that works.  When I type everything out, it looks like this:  

 

mount –t cifs //192.168.1.42/mnt /nas –o username=321barnes,password=Password

 

this does not work...  Any guidance on this?

Hi db,

 

Samba is always a pain in the ..s, if your new to this all i advise u to use ajenti for your troubles.

Its  a multilingual web-based server administration panel, that very user friendly for all your installation needs.

 

Install is simple,  u cant do anything wrong, and i used it for Samba and other frustrating  installations.

 

If your using a Debian flavored  linux, the install is only 1 sentence.

 

Check it here :http://ajenti.org/

 

debian install : http://support.ajenti.org/topic/349864-installing-on-debian/

 

for other flavored linux,  read website.
