Got it!

The command is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount //192.168.1.18/data /mnt/backup -o username=username,password=password

The reason our previous attempts were failing was that I was asking it to go to //192.168.1.18/data/DadsLinux a subdir of ../data/

It seems I can only mount at the top level - am I right or am I wrong!?!?

Stuart,

I installed smbfs and gave this command:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount -t smb //mini/data/DadsLinux/ /mnt/backup -ousername=admin%admin

and got:

5997: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)

This looks a bit more hopeful!

I have checked for capitalisation, spaces, etc and all seems OK!

Surely this cannot be as hard as all that?!?!

Ideas anyone?

And thanks


Ed

No wait ....  Looking further down I DO have the smbclient installed!
However looking even further down the list I not smbfs - described as
"mount and unmount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x)


Try installing this and see if that helps?
