You can access folder or file by samba
smbclient//192.168.0.12(ip of windows xp )/(folder name) -U (user name)

dear Rajesh if u want permanently mount of any folder then you need to entry in fstab (vi /etc/fstab)
But remember i think the share folder system should be always connected otherwise your system will be corrupt

either this howto is erronous or it is not up to date!

in fstab the filesystem type has to be “smbfs” not smb

and one should mention, that you have to install the package smbfs!

NFS is not a “browsable” protocol, like SMB. Just do as h4d suggests. If you want to make sure it’s mounted all the time, you can add an entry to your /etc/fstab to have it mounted at boot time.

to help, a product named autofs that mounts shares auto at boot or per attempt. can also unmount after delay of disuse.

In Xubuntu 9.10 i was able to mount samba shares using Gigolo(installed by default). Additionally to this to work i installed gvfs-fuse and fusesmb packages.

@Nigel

it is almost as sad as you have said.
I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 and I had to do an
# apt-get install am-utils

Because something as basic as mounting nfs exports through automounter seams no longer standard, only after that yield a cd to
/net//
the expacted result (works likewise from within the file browser)

Of NFS the original article says “..over a network as easily as if attached to its local disks”. But one major facility seems to be missing: using the Ubuntu graphical file browser, Nautilus, to view and modify the files.

Nautilus works with smb shares but not, seemingly, with the more Uni(x)fied NFS.

Please tell me I am wrong and have missed something.

I believe the commands listed under the “Before mount these file systems” paragraph should be:

sudo mkdir /mnt/software

sudo mkdir /mnt/music
