Hi guys,
netgear readyshare is a function to share on lan a disk attached to router, theorically should be a good feature, but it support just ntfs fs, and I could connect to it just via "connect to server" function on mate menu. I can't solve the problem about how can I mount it like my other samba share.
I tried thousands times, in thousands ways differently but without result.
Normally I simply mount a network share with
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin //192.168.1.122/USB_Storage/ /home/Desktop/untitled_folder
but in this case I can't...
I hope in some of your suggestion or explanation
EDIT alternatively is there a way to auto-mount this type of "connect to a server" on boot to make it automatically?
Is your netgear 192.168.1.122 (seems odd, routers are usually .1) Also under /home/ you need USER then Desktop. Replace USER with your username, (eg. /home/frank/Desktop/folder) . Try this
sudo mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlm //192.168.1.1/USB_Storage /home/USER/Desktop/folder
hi @pavlos_kairis and thanks for your support, I try immediately your suggestion.
The router is in ap mode for this its ip is .122, user I omitted intentionally, but for my culture: what is this "sec=ntlm"?
davide@server:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlm //192.168.1.122/USB_Storage /home/davide/Desktop/untitled_folder

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)
still same error I obtained before, it's very strange and I can't understand why it occurs
davide@server:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin //192.168.1.122/USB_Storage/ /home/davide/Desktop/untitled_folder
Password for admin@//192.168.1.122/USB_Storage/: ***************

Is readyshare enabled in your AP?
yes absolutely, it's working on windows, android and on ubuntu-mate only through "connect to a server" feature
EDIT to connect through "connect to a server" feature I had to insert in /etc/samba/smb.conf
client min protocol = CORE
client max protocol = SMB3
but for sure readyshare support smbV2, otherwise it couldn't work on windows
And I assume the destination folder does exist? /home/davide/Desktop/folder
yes for sure. I assume that the error that appears refers to the "server side / netgear readyshare"
So, using the File Manager, you can type
smb://192.168.1.122/USB_Storage /home/davide/Desktop/untitled_folder
but the sudo mount fails
I plugged in a netgear AP in my network, 10.0.0.4 Enabled readyshare.
I am able with the File Manager to access the share. Tried it on terminal, this worked
sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=1.0 //10.0.0.4/USB_Storage/ frank
If I change vers=2.0 or 3.0 I get the error you get, No such file or dir
absolutely incredible: windows has deprecated smbv1, and ready share work with it...very very strange, but very thanks: I use immediately your tip
does smbv1 support authentication?
davide@server:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin vers=1.0 //192.168.1.122/USB_Storage/ /home/davide/Desktop/untitled_folder

I think you need a comma, the options should be all together separated by comma (no spaces)
eg. -o vers=1.0,username=admin,password=secret
yes, very thanks pavlos!
solved
davide@server:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,vers=1.0 //192.168.1.122/USB_Storage/ /home/davide/Desktop/untitled_folder
