If you want to continue using samba, and don't have a password set up, it's
easy.
Open a terminal and execute these commands (replacing servername and
sharename):
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /media/samba-share
echo "//servername/sharename /media/samba-share cifs guest,uid=$(id
-u),iocharset=utf8 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Note: do not remove -a from tee command or you will have huge problems; if
you execute the last command twice, you will have a duplicate entry in
/etc/fstab
You can review the changes /etc/fstab using a GUI editor
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
or a terminal-based one
sudo editor /etc/fstab
I think it is more secure to be using sftp. It is a file transfer protocol
built on top of ssh. If your network drive is on a system running GNU/Linux
it will be easy to set it up.
