SMB/CIFS share from Linux

[RubberSeoul 0]

Does anyone have any idea how to connect to a SMB/CIFS shared folder requiring credentials, from a Linux host?

 

I believe wnetaddconnection2 can be used for this purpose from Windows host, but I have been unable to determine how to from Linux.

Any help appreciated.

In the past I have encountered some issues with the classic mount scheme, especially in WiFi environments, where a temporarily lost connection could lead to a permanently (until next reboot) lost mount. I have found autofs to be a perfect solution for this and also a good way to reduce network traffic. Here is a small explanation: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/html/SLES-all/cha-autofs.html. And after looking into this I found newer versions of systemd are capable of the same thing, just read here: https://anteru.net/blog/2019/automatic-mounts-using-systemd/.

Thanks guys. Was hoping to set it up in code, but gonna go with Brian's suggestion of just mounting in Linux. 
Cheers.
