Mount a shared folder from Windows on Ubuntu

Edit the /etc/fstab file and add the line :

SHARED_WINDOWS_FOLDER PATH_TO_LINUX_FOLDER cifs noperm,credentials=PATH_TO_CREDENTIALS,uid=1000,gid=33,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=02775 0 0

Where:

SHARED_WINDOWS_FOLDER is your windows shared folder : it could be //MYPC/vhosts
PATH_TO_LINUX_FOLDER is the folder where you want to mount : it could be /var/www/vhosts
PATH_TO_CREDENTIALS is the path to your credentials file to access the share (your windows user and password) it cold be ~/credentials

The credentials file would have two lines:

username=ENTER_WINDOWS_USERNAME
password=ENTER_WINDOWS_PASSWORD

Or without the credentials file:

SHARED_WINDOWS_FOLDER PATH_TO_LINUX_FOLDER cifs noperm,username=ENTER_WINDOWS_USERNAME,password=ENTER_WINDOWS_PASSWORD,uid=1000,gid=33,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=02775 0 0

Where:

ENTER_WINDOWS_USERNAME is your windows username
ENTER_WINDOWS_PASSWORD is your windows password
