How do I mount a CIFS share via FSTAB and give full RW to Guest
Turns out that I need to add a local (client) UID to the mount line in FSTAB to make this work. I arrived at this via sheer brute force:
//192.168.0.5/storage /media/myname/TK-Public/ cifs guest,uid=myuser,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0
You are almost there. Open FSTAB by using:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
In the last line ( or on of the last lines) place:
//192.168.0.5/storage /media/myname/TK-Public/ cifs username=YOURUSERNAME,password=YOURPASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
*** (this is all one long line)
Ctrl-X to close, Y to save and Enter to seal the deal.
Now reboot by:
sudo reboot
And you should have full control of the network share on your Linux device!
