Mount SMB volume from terminal

Written By Alan Torres

Need to use the terminal to access SMB volumes? It’s slightly different on macOS and Linux. Make sure you create a mount directory before running the mount command.

MACOS

mount_smbfs //user@SERVER/folder ./mntpoint

LINUX

Make sure cif-utils is installed

apt-get install cifs-utils

To mount:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=yourUserName //SERVER_IP/VOLUME_NAME/ mntpoint
