mount remote windows share from centos

Question

I am trying to setup a script that will:

1. Connect to a windows share
2. Using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE, upload the two files into their appropriate db table

Answer 1

no need to install "samba" and "samba-client", only "cifs-utils" using command

yum install cifs-utils

after that in windows share the folder you would like to mount in centos if you didn't do that already ("c:\interpub\wwwroot" in my case).

make sure you share it with a specific username whom your know the password for ("netops" in my case).

create a directory in centos in which you would like to mount the windows share in to ("/mnt/cm" in my case).

after that run that simple command as a root

mount.cifs //10.16.0.160/wwwroot /mnt/cm/ -o user=netops

centos will prompt you for the windows username password.

you are done.
