I have access to a Linux machine, but not root access. I can access a Samba share through smbclient
. I'd like to be able to mount this share so I can access it from within Matlab. Normally, if I had root access, this would be trivial. But since I don't, I'm not sure how to proceed.
EDIT:
smbmount
isn't installed on this machine. mount.cifs
is installed, which I think I read is a replacement for smbmount
? However, when I try it, it says I need to run it sudo.
Does smbmount
(or mount.cifs
) need to be suid in order for a non-root user to mount a Samba share?
mkdir ~/mnt
and thenmount //SERVED/SAMBASHARE ~/mnt
might work?
