Copy files to an SMB share as non-root user

Question

I would like to access and copy some files to an SMB share. These commands work with sudo, no username/password is needed:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/share ~/share/ -o rw
cp *pdf share/
umount share/

Is there a way to do this as non-root user?

Solution

Either you add a mount option

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/share ~/share/ -o rw username=XYXY,password=XYXYXY

or you write a textfile

gedit ~/.smbcredentials

with the content:

username=XYXY

password=XYXYXY

After that type

sudo chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials

Now try mounting:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/share ~/share/ -o rw credentials=~/.smbcredentials
