I want to access a windows share from my vbox ubuntu machine (I have all proxies set up correctly).
The problem is that I get a permission denied error with no extra reasons when trying to mount via :
mount -t cifs "//server/share" /windowsshare/myshare -o username=<activediruname>,password=<pass>,domain=<ADdomain>,ro
I get this error:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I have an $
character inside the password but I don't think that is the problem because I have also tried setting the PASSWD
env var and removing the password=
option and still permission denied error.
Any ideas, clues or information about how to debug the information further will be greatly appreciated .
$
might trigger shell's variable expansion -- in both cases (command line option, PASSWD env var). Have you tried to put single quotes around the -o parameter:... -o 'username=.....'
