Thanks for the response leiz. Sorry but I am new to UB and I guess I am not doing the sudo mount right.
The drive, when using Dolphin is at smb://b...@billvista/E/Pictures. How I work that into the sudo mount - I guess I am missing something. I tried sudo mount -t cifs //b...@billvista/E/Pictures sudo mount -t cifs //billvista/E/Pictures In case you haven't guessed, I am totally new to Lynux.
