I dont mind gui but I had already tried it, got permissions denied but couldn't figure why. Seems we need kernel-module-cifs. With this installed I ran the following command and it successfully mounted the drive Code: mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/f$/ /home/user/MyDocs/KaosExt -o user=remote,pass=**** N.B. - I used IP not netbios name, and I dropped off ",ip=192.168.2.2,direct" from the end of the command that I was previously running. Happy now, now just need to search how to write a script that will auto sync.
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/f$/ /home/user/MyDocs/KaosExt -o user=remote,pass=****
