I have a Windows machine called 'box' with a directory called 'users'
which is shared publicly with no access username or password as
'users2'. On my Jessie system, I created the mount point successfully:
mkdir -p /mnt/users
I then installed the cifs-utils package as instructed by a Website
with a fairly up-to-date article on how to do all of this.
In /etc/fstab, as directed by the same article, I have placed the
line:
//box/users2 /mnt/users cifs
I am now trying to mount the Windows share like this:
mount -t cifs //box/users2 /mnt/users
The system responds:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Is there a default username and password I'm supposed to use, like
maybe the Windows network password, or something else perhaps?
