Access windows shared folders from Linux

You’ll need the cifs-utils package in order to mount SMB shares:

     sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

After that, just make a directory and mount the share to it. In this example, we will mount the folder to our Desktop for easy access.

     mkdir /path/to/mount_folder
     sudo mount.cifs //IP_of_winPC/Share   /path/to/mount_folder  -o user=windowUser

Then enter password & enjoy :) 
     cd /path/to/mount_folder
