readyshare mount error(13): Permission denied
I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 Mate. This WAS working.
Used: sudo mount -t cifs //###.###.###.###/USB_storage /media/public -o sec=ntlm
Prompted for password and I'm in.
That's NOT WORKING anymore.
Nothing I've tried seems to work.
I'm NOT using Windows, connecting to ANYTHING Windows. This is STRICTLY a LINUX problem.
I CAN connect directly to the USB drive.
In, plain english (please), what can I do to troubleshoot this and fix it?
Thanx
Ok, I've tried recommendations from the sidebar (excepting those for Windows as noted). I've tried what I've found on the web.
And I've tried shumaku's recommendations.
NOTHING has made a difference.
So, I've connected it to a remote laptop and will access it from there when I remote connect to that laptop.Either that or I may try USB over IP on a raspberry pi I've got set up in another room.
Readyshare works great, when it works.
Thanx

Hm, not sure ... was this command line copied? Isn't the default share of the first USB drive /USB_Storage ?
Without authentication required:
# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/USB_Storage /mnt/readyshare/ -o guest
With a username and a password (another shared folder on the same Nighthawk):
# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/other /mnt/readyother -o user=admin,password=password,sec=ntlm
If uncertain, try --verbose or -vvv ...
# mount --verbose -t cifs //192.168.1.1/other /mnt/readyother -o user=admin,password=password,sec=ntlm
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.1,unc=\\192.168.1.1\other,sec=ntlm,user=admin,pass=********You might want to provide the password on the command line - still specifying a username is suggested:
# mount --verbose -t cifs //192.168.1.1/other /mnt/readyother -o user=admin,sec=ntlm
Password for admin@//192.168.1.1/other:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.1,unc=\\192.168.1.1\other,sec=ntlm,user=admin,pass=********If you are using the same username, you can do it without the username:
# mount --verbose -t cifs //192.168.1.1/other /mnt/readyother -o sec=ntlm
Password for admin@//192.168.1.1/other:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.1,unc=\\192.168.1.1\other,sec=ntlm,user=admin,pass=********
But wait, you are sudo ... and then you become root
# sudo whoami
rootHope this gives some ideas. And then ... I've seen Linux distros breaking simple NFS mounts as well as mount.cifs.

ThanxThe ReadSHARE is a plain simple (and outdated, vulnerable, ...) SAMBA 3.0.24 serving SMB 1.0 protocol, and max ntlm auth security on all Nighthawk routers.
Well, I'm still convinced it's either a problem between keyboard and chair, or a problem with your Linux distro, the SAMBA Kernel module in place, the SAMBA utilities in place, ..
I checked my permissions.
I reset them using:
sudo chmod -R 777
I then went in and tried modifying files and I double checked that the permissions settings
matched the chmod.
Check on all counts.I checked the permissions and chmod on the folder to which I was assigning the networked drive.
Check.So, I'm running out of locations for checking the appropriate permissions. Something I missed?
(Apparently.) What?P.S. I'm here to try to solve a problem. Not to win a popularity contest. So, all the notifications to my ego
aren't working. And this probably won't help.
Just saying.
