How to mount remote SMB folder to local Ubuntu server

First, install tools:

sudo apt install cifs-utils

Create a new folder:

sudo mkdir /mnt/share

To mount:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=your-name  //your-server/your-path /mnt/share
  • your-name is your Windows user name.
  • your-server is the server IP address or domain name.
  • your-path is the folder name of that SMB share.

After executing, you might need to input the password.
