This brief tutorial shows students and new users how to automatically mount Windows shares on Ubuntu 17.04 | 17.10 for everyone to access without prompting for passwords. Yesterday we showed you how to create a public share on Windows system for everyone to access.
This post is going to show you how to automatically mount the Windows shared folder on Ubuntu machines for everyone to access. No passwords needed and everyone body will be able to create, modify and delete files and folders from there shared location.
This setup is is great for environments where you want users to temporarily store content before moving to a more secure location. You don’t want your users storing content for long here since everyone has full rights to create, delete and modify files and folders
To mount Windows shares on Ubuntu automatically, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Create Windows Shares
This first step mounting Windows shares on Ubuntu is to create a Windows share. To do that, read the post below:
Step 2: Install CIFS or SMBFS
Now that you’ve created a Windows share with everyone having full access, run the commands below to install smbfs or cifs package on Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
After installing, continue below to create a location to mount the Windows shares.
Step 3: Create a Mount Point
After installing the Ubuntu packages that allows for sharing between two systems, run the commands below to create a location to mount the Windows share. This location will be linked to the Windows share on Ubuntu with everyone having full access.
The folder we’ll want to create for the Windows share will be called winshare.
sudo mkdir /media/winshare
Next, run the commands below on the mount point to give everyone access
sudo chown -R nobody:nogroup /media/winshare sudo chmod -R 0777 /media/winshare
Step 4: Mount the Windows Share
Now that all the requirements are met, run the commands below to open Linux fstab file.
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Then add the line below into the file and save.
//WINDOWSPC/PublicShares /media/winshare cifs username=winuser,password=winuserpasswd,uid=nobody,iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0
Save the file and you’re done.
The line details:
- username and password indicates a windows user account and password to access the shared folder.
- uid=nobody makes the Linux user specified by the id the owner of the mounted share, allowing anyone access.
- iocharset=utf8 allows access to files with names in non-English languages.
Now all you have to do to mount the file is run the commands below:
sudo mount -a
If you’re using Ubuntu desktop, browse to the mount directory and the Windows share should be mounted there.
If get an error, restart the computer.
That’s it!
