Cygwin's 'mount' has syntactic similarities to the Linux/Unix 'mount' but is semanticly quite different. There is no command-line facility in Cygwin which will perform the function you are referring to here. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Re: Windows Share Folder Problem
Hi, Thanks for the reply !!!. Now, I can access the windows sharable folder using this command: net use Z: vm-webin\\d$ my_password /user:myself cd /cygdrive/z But this command is also available in Dos. So I can do the same thing using dos also. But in my cygwin presentation I want to show that you can access the sharable PC folder using some linux command for ex: mount command. Which is not available in windows dos command. As in my previous post, you people suggested me some other solution to access sharable window PC folder. For ex: 1.) cd //server_ip_address 2.) mount -f -b //server_ip_address/data/ /home/user/temp/ In the above two example I can access the sharable PC if and only if there is no user id or password required. Since we are working in the organization so to access sharable folder I need to enter the user Id and password. Is there any way to access that windows sharable folder using user id and password but only with Linux command.

There's no need to install Samba in Cygwin. In fact I don't think there's even a Samba package. A few concepts to understand... Windows Networking or the way that Windows shares filesystems over the network is through the SMB or Server Message Block http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block protocol. When you are on Windows and you mount a remote share to a drive letter you are using SMB. Samba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_%28software%29 is ... a free software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block networking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_networking protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_%28computing%29, originally developed by Australian Andrew Tridgell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tridgell. IOW Samba is the Unix/Linux equivalent of playing Windows (SMB) networking. Cygwin's already running on Windows so there's really no need to implement SMB - it's already there! And there's no really need to mount things really either - nor a need to take up a drive letter in order to access remote filesystems in Windows domains. So, in order to see the contents of the file named foo on the server myserver and share myshare you need only do: $ more //myserver/myshare/foo This does not mean that you can't access it through a drive letter, if you feel the need to mount it, you can do: $ net use X: myserver\\myshare $ more /cygdrive/x/foo # or $ more x:/foo Note the doubling of backslashes because bash uses backslash as an escape character. -- Andrew DeFaria http://defaria.com If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
