# Note: ~ = home directory (/home/john)
# Install smbfs:
sudo apt-get install smbfs
# Enable users to mount and umount the shares to their respective drives.
chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount
# Create directory where you will mount windows drive:
mkdir ~/windowsC
# mount share
# This will mount the windows share("hostname\C$") to ("~/windowsC"). If you leave password out you will be prompted for the password.
# fmask and dmask were added to enable read/write permissions.
smbmount \\\\hostname\\C$ ~/windowsC -o username=domain\\WindowsLoginName,fmask=644,dmask=744
# or
smbmount \\\\hostname\\C$ ~/windowsC -o username=domain\\WinUser,password=********,fmask=644,dmask=744
# Unmount drive when done:
smbumount ~/windowsC
# If you want to put MountC and UnmountC scripts into Nautilus File Browser right click menu:
# Create MountC and UnmountC Scripts
# MountC Script
#!/bin/bash
PASSWORD=`zenity --title "Login" --entry --text "Enter Password for windowsC" --hide-text`
smbmount \\\\hostname\\C$ ~/windowsC -o username=domain\\WinUser,password=$PASSWORD,fmask=644,dmask=744
exit 0
# UnmountC Script
#!/bin/bash
smbumount ~/windowsC
exit 0
# Make scripts executable:
chmod 755 MountC
chmod 755 UnmountC
# Copy scripts into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts directory
# Right click on desktop and select Scripts->MountC
# Enjoy
