Connect to NAS with CIFS??

[Adduxi]

Hi all,

I have a Qnap NAS and wish to use one of the shares to collect the Traffic data and Syslog reports from the RT-N66U.
I'm running the latest Merlin Firmware.
I've tried the following command without any success.

mount -t cifs \\<IP Address>\<sharename> /mnt/<sharename> -username -password

I've also an RT-N16 running Shibby Tomato and it can connect to this share without any issues, using the Tomato Web Interface to configure.

Any assistance welcome, as I'm a total Linux novice

You must double all the backslashes, i.e. \\\\device\\share.

See the README that accompanies the firmware for more details.

Something like this should work:

mount -tcifs -ousername=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD \\\\NAS-IP\\SHARE /mnt/SHARE

Thanks for the pointers guys.

I read the 'Read Me' with the firmware and used the following as suggested;

mount \\\\192.168.1.100\\ShareName /cifs1 -t cifs -o "username=User,password=Pass"

This syntax gives a error of Permission Denied which is strange as the username and password work with TomatoUSB on the same NAS share.

I'm at work at the moment, so I'll post the System Log errors later to see if they throw any light on the issue.

Thanks !!
