How to map a Network Drive in Linux

Mapping a Windows Network Drive to a Linux system

1. Create a directory:
# mkdir /mnt/sharename

2. Mount the network drive to that directory:
# mount -t cifs -o username=username //servername/sharename /mnt/sharename
It will prompt you for the share password.
Or you can include the password in the option:
# mount -t cifs -o username=username, password=password //servername/sharename /mnt/sharename
