[Tips]mounting Network folder into a directory in Ubuntu

Recently I had a task to do that , and after some googling .... this is the steps :

1. create first the destination directory/folder in local ubuntu machine
2. make sure the target directory is existing in the network.
3. open the terminal
4. type this command(without double quotes) :

Using the terminal, enter:

sudo smbmount //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=username,password=password

5. Finally open the destination directory/folder that you have create in step one, the contents will reflects the contents of the target directory in the target machine.



HOPE this tips helps you.
