I am trying to mount a Windows drive onto my RPI but it is asking for a password.
First:
sudo mount.cifs //192.xx.xx.xx/Users/Username/Folder1/Folder /mnt/folder cifs sec=ntlm,defaults,rw,username=username,password=password 0 0
After this it asks for a password:
Password:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I tried the drive's password and the RPI password but it doesn't work.
It looks like you are trying to use the line from /etc/fstab as the arguments to mount.cifs.
On the command line you put the need something like this:
sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm,defaults,rw,username=username,password=password //192.xx.xx.xx/Users/Username/Folder1/Folder /mnt/folder
If you put your what you have in the /etc/fstab like this:
//192.xx.xx.xx/Users/Username/Folder1/Folder /mnt/folder cifs sec=ntlm,defaults,rw,username=username,password=password 0 0
You should be able to mount it with the command:
sudo mount /mnt/folder
It will look up the information for mounting /mnt/folder from /etc/fstab to perform the mount.
