Thread: Eth HDD mount with read and write

hi,

have western digital external hard drive.
http://reviews.cnet.com/network-stor...-34192049.html
connect local switch/router , can access through network @ ip address.
product specifications says supports windows , mac , indeed work expected on windows.

of course using ubuntu (11.04) on laptop , trying mount , use it.
far able mount , move stuff it, root user.
, bit annoying because unable change files on on fly or grab video , drag there.

here mount it:
1. create directory in /mnt , /media or in /home/me/
2. execute command:
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.5/public /home/me/wd -o --username=admin,password=somepass

did searched web solutions how mount , able write on files normal linux user, commands did not worked me.

have ideas do?
want mount in way normal user allowed write files on (or change ones there)

thank you.

if want automount cifs, you'll need add line /etc/fstab file. assuming uid , gid of 1000 (defaults), simplest format is:

code:

//192.168.1.5/public /home/me/wd cifs username=admin,password=somepass,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

if don't want automount add uid=1000,gid=1000 mount command options. check uid/gid can use:

code:

id -u; id -g
