====== How to mount CIFS share in Linux ======

First start by installing the CIFS Utilities:

<code>
sudo apt install cifs-utils

</code>

Once complete the following command can be used to mount a share:

<code>
sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.smb //amzfsxbfcprd.d04.tes.local/ReportBundle

</code>

In the above example credentials are stored in the location: **/root/.smb**

This file looks as follows:

<code>
username=user
password=password
domain=domain''

</code>

To create a persistent mount open up the following file: **/etc/fstab**

Add the following line at the bottom of the file:

<code>
//amznfsxc26x4t6k.d04.tes.local/ReportBundle /sapmnt/PB4/interface/fromECTOR/IN cifs uid=5000,gid=5001,credentials=/root/.smb,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,vers=3.0
