mount remote windows share from centos
The mount.cifs file is provided by the samba-client package. This can be installed from the standard CentOS yum repository by running the following command:
yum install samba samba-client cifs-utils
Once installed, you can mount a Windows SMB share on your CentOS server by running the following command:
Syntax:
mount.cifs //SERVER_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME MOUNT_POINT -o user=USERNAME
SERVER_ADDRESS: Windows system’s IP address or hostname
SHARE_NAME: The name of the shared folder configured on the Windows system
USERNAME: Windows user that has access to this share
MOUNT_POINT: The local mount point on your CentOS server
I am mounting to a share from \\10.11.10.26\snaps
Make a directory under mount for your reference
mkdir /mnt/mymount
Now I am mounting the snaps folder from indiafps02, User name is the Domain credentials, i.e. Mydomain in this case
mount.cifs //10.11.10.26/snaps /mnt/mymount -o user=Girish.KG
Now you could see the content by typing
ls /mnt/mymount
So, after performing your task, just fire umount command
umount /mnt/mymount
That's it. You are done.
mount - samba with CentOS 7

Mounting a windows share in Windows Subsystem for Linux
Assuming the host Windows OS can access a file share at "\\servername\sharename", try this command in bash. You will need to be root:
mkdir /mnt/mountedshare
mount -t drvfs '\\servername\sharename' /mnt/mountedshare
The single quotes are important!
Worked for me with a SharePoint Online UNC path. The permissions are screwy though. I can navigate through the folders and see the filenames, but I can't read files. So need to figure out the permissions thing. Let me know if you get anywhere with that.
How do I mount a remote Linux folder in Windows through SSH?
Back in 2002, Novell developed some software called NetDrive that can map a WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, etc. share to a windows drive letter. It is now abandonware, so it's no longer maintained (and not available on the Novell website), but it's free to use. I found quite a few available to download by searching for "netdrive.exe" I actually downloaded a few and compared their md5sums to make sure that I was getting a common (and hopefully safe) version.
Update 10 Nov 2017
SFTPNetDrive is the current project from the original netdrive project. And they made it free for personal use:
We Made SFTP Net Drive FREE for Personal Use
They have paid options as well on the website.
Mount SMB/CIFS share within a Docker container
Yes, Docker is preventing you from mounting a remote volume inside the container as a security measure. If you trust your images and the people who run them, then you can use the --privileged
flag with docker run
to disable these security measures.
Further, you can combine --cap-add
and --cap-drop
to give the container only the capabilities that it actually needs. (See documentation) The SYS_ADMIN
capability is the one that grants mount privileges.
How to `ls` a remote folder?
Your current method of using ~/.gvfs/
is fine, but you don't need pcmanfm for that – you can use gvfs-mount
to connect to the share. Additionally, tools such as gvfs-ls
and gvfs-cp
will accept your smb:// URI.
$ gvfs-mount smb://HOST/SHARE/
$ gvfs-ls smb://HOST/SHARE/
In recent gvfs versions the location is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs/
(aka /run/user/$UID/gvfs/
), and the subdirectory names have become more machine-readable:
$ ls /run/user/$UID/gvfs/smb-share:server=HOST,share=SHARE/
In older versions:
$ ls ~/.gvfs/"SHARE on HOST"/
(Remember to quote spaces within path names.)
Specifically for Samba, you can use the smbclient
program, or mount the share on the VFS layer by using mount -t cifs
. (The latter is, unfortunately, limited to root.)
$ smbclient //host/share
# mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt
(For other kinds of filesystems, such as SFTP and FTP, sshfs
and curlftpfs
exist respectively.)
