Morning all<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to mount a remote Windows Server 2003 share to my desktop machine. I can access the share through the GUI in Ubuntu by clicking Place > Connect to Server > Windows Share. What I need to do (I think) is mount it to a proper mount point in my local filesystem in order to be able to run a command to sort the remote folders into size order so that I can trim the sizes down.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to mount the Windows fs by typing:</div><div><br></div><div><b>sudo mount -t cifs //remoteWindows/e$/users -o username=myUsername,password=myPassword /media/windows/</b></div><div><br></div>
<div><br></div><div>I've also tried the above command with <b>smbfs</b> instead of <b>cifs</b> but it still doesn't work. This is what I get from my terminal when I try the above mount command:</div><div><br></div>
<div><div><b>mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //san-02/e$/StuHomeA-M,</b></div><div><b> missing codepage or helper program, or other error</b></div><div><b> (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might</b></div>
<div><b> need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)</b></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Can anybody shed any light on what I've got wrong? I'm a bit stumped. All the forums and how-to guides seem to tell me that I'm doing it right, my terminal disagrees!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Simon</div>
