Mount a network drive with proper privileges

Shell Script (Bash) posted about 1 year ago by marko

This is not a snippet either, but I always forget how the local permissions for a Samba mount are given, which is the reason I put it here. Uid is the id of the user you want to mount the drive as, and gid is respectively the group id. Username is the username you want to connect with.

   1  sudo mount -t smbfs -o uid=1000,gid=1000,username=marko //remote_server/work /mnt/net/stage/work
