[solved] mount.cifs from network to a Merlin curlftpfs location

[amplatfus]

Hi,

I installed curlftpfs on Merlin and mounted on router location available at /tmp/mnt/ftp.

asus@router:/# curlftpfs domain.com /mnt/ftp -o user=user@domain.com:password,allow_other
asus@router:/# mount
curlftpfs#ftp://domain.com/ on /tmp/mnt/ftp type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

Now I need to mount this as a network folder something like this entered on a network device:

root@linux:/home/guest# mount.cifs //192.168.0.1/domain.com /mnt/ftp -o username=usermerlin,password=password
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Could you please help me with a adivice? Is this possible?

Thank you!

You have created the filesystem on router but you haven't said whether you are sharing that with Samba.

 

[amplatfus]

Ok, thanks. And could you please show how this can be done?
BR!

 

[ColinTaylor]

In the normal way [USB Application > Network Place(Samba) Share]. If the filesystem doesn't show up there then it probably can't be done.

 

[amplatfus]

It doesn't. What I have found in the meantime is that smb.conf must be edited. The solution is to add something to this file in file /jffs/configs/smb.conf.add

What I have found on other site is that I have to add something like into /jffs/configs/smb.conf.add:

[<folder_name>]
path = /home/<user_name>/<folder_name>
valid users = <user_name>
read only = no

I added like this

[ftphand]
path =/tmp/mnt/ftp
valid users = root
read only = no

But now I do not know what to do next.
Thanks!

service restart_ftpsamba

 

[amplatfus]

It's magic, is working. After service restart_ftpsamba I entered:

mount.cifs //192.168.0.1/ftphand/ /mnt/ftphand -o username=user,password=pass

And reading and writing are working both on /mnt/ftphand
PS: I will change the thread title into [solved]
Thank you so much!
