I'm working through the midnight commander / Putty utilities. To date I'm able to get around in MC and decided to try and mount one of my network shares on PC

'Rack11". The command seem to work and asked for a password. I'm not able to type in a password, and if I press enter I get the below result. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? The purpose of this is to copy files from /data to UnRaid.

 

root@Tower:/# smbmount //rack1/data /work

Password:

13572: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare

SMB connection failed

 

Thanks

For that command to work:

you must have the workgroup set to the same value on the Rack11 PC and the unRAID server

and

you must have a shared folder defined on Rack11 that has an alias name of "data"

and

you must have granted permissions to access that folder on Rack11 to the ID you are using on unRAID

and

you must have already created an empty directory on the unRAID server named "/work"

and

you must have the DNS field in unRAID setup populated so the named server can be located

and

you must type the smbmount command using the correct name for the remote server

(You typed Rack1 in your example, the machine is named Rack11 in your description.  One of the two is in error, or you have made a typo)

 

Why are you not able to type a password when prompted?

Thanks for the reply.

 

Workgroup...previously configured

Shared folder "data"...turns out to be my drive E:, shared but did not work until I pointed to a sub-folder "movies" on "data".

Permissions on Rack1 previously set.

Password...does take but does not echo back...this is the same as your UNRAID password and not my workstation password.

 

Commands that worked

mkdir /work

smbmount //Rack1/3-Movies /work
