I know I have to add a line to the fstab but I get confused because of credentials. This is what I have:
//REMOTE-IP/vs /home/MYNAME/vs ntfs-3g users,auto 0 0
How do I specify username and password for the share?
I don't want that the user of Xubuntu has to enter them and that the drive is mounted and ready after login.
I want read and write access.
Thanks for your help
you can either add username=username,password=password to that line or you can add credentials=/path/to/credentials/file and have that direct to a file containing username=username and password=password (one on each line).
also if this is a network share you should change ntfs-3g to cifs (you may need to install cifs-utils if it's not already installed)
Thank you, I'll do that.
ahh, because... CIFS is the Linux-Implementation for SMB (which is the protocol Windows uses for network drives), while ntfs-3g the implementation for (local) NTFS is.
