I was hoping that I could manually mount it as a samba drive in terminal, however, I can't seem to find smbmount (or its variants) in the UNIX install.
mount_smbfs
from the man page:
MOUNT_SMBFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT_SMBFS(8)
NAME
mount_smbfs - mounts a shared resource from an SMB file server
SYNOPSIS
mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N]
[-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout]
[-W workgroup] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-n
opt] [-u uid] //user@server/share node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using
SMB/CIFS protocol.
The options are:
-E cs1:cs2
Specifies local (cs1) and server's (cs2) character sets.
-I host
Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host,
which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.
-L locale
Use locale for lower/upper case conversion routines. Set the lo-
cale for case conversion. By default mount_smbfs tries to use an
environment variable LC_* to determine it.
-M crights:srights
Assign access rights to the newly created connection. See
nsmb(8) for theory.
-N Do not ask for a password. At run time, mount_smbfs reads the
~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a
password. If no password is found the mount_smbfs prompts for
it.
-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup
Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection.
See nsmb(8) for theory.
-R retrycount
How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides
to drop the connection.
-T timeout
Timeout in seconds for each request.
-W workgroup
This option specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentica-
tion request.
-c case
Set a case option which affects name representation. case can be
one of the following:
Value Meaning
l All existing file names converted to lower case. Newly
created file gets a lower case.
u All existing file names converted to upper case. Newly
created file gets an upper case unde.
-f mode, -d mode
Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directo-
ries. The values must be specified as octal numbers. Default
value for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value
for the dir mode adds execute permission where the file mode
gives read permission.
Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by
SMB server.
-u uid, -g gid
User id and group id assigned to files. The default is owner and
group id from directory where the volume is mounted.
//user@server/share
The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of
remote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the
resource name on a remote server.
node Path to mount point.
FILES
~/.nsmbrc Keeps static parameters for connections and other informa-
tion. See ./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details.
EXAMPLES
The following examples illustrate how to connect to a SMB server SAMBA as
user GUEST and mount shares PUBLIC and TMP:
mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public
mount_smbfs -I 192.168.20.3 -E koi8-r:cp866 //guest@samba/tmp /smb/tm
p
It is possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts:
//guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto 0 0
