</div></div>On advice from this forum I sought to mount the remote folder using CIFS as<br>
I was told that this was better than using SAMBA.<br>
<br>
I sought to mount the remote folder MusicFilms, which resides on a Win7<br>
machine named POSSUM mapped to my MythTv box file system at the location<br>
/mnt/MusicFilms<br>
<br>
I added the following to my fstab file having created a .credentials in my<br>
home folder with my windows user name and password:<br>
<br>
<br>
//possum/MusicFilms /mnt/MusicFilms cifs<br>
rw,uid=anthony,gid=workgroup,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,noauto,cred=/home/anthony<br>
/.credentials<br>
<br>
I also tried the following line to see if I could mount using SAMBA which I<br>
know is running on the machine<br>
# //possum/MusicFilms /mnt/MusicFilms smbfs guest 0 0<br>

Note via the Ubuntu "Places" file system interface I can browse and connect<br>
to this share and mount it without any problem however I have no way of<br>
making the mapping persistent.<br>
<br>
I would be interested in knowing where in the Linux file system does it<br>
place the remote folder if I user the Network interface of Ubuntu and browse<br>
to the remote folder and chose Mount from the dropdown command list? A<br>
representation of the remote folder appears on the desktop however it does<br>
not appear in the file system inside the Desktop folder.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>~/.gvfs<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
It looks like I have something wrong with the syntax however I do not have<br>
any boot errors requiring me to skip like I got with previous attempts.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
