Mount shared ReadyNAS folder on Ubuntu

Hi! I am having a problem trying to mount an NFS shared folder on Ubuntu 20.04. I have followed the instructions here, as well as several other sites with similiar instructions.

The readyNAS 104 has a shared folder 'Videos' with SMB enable and read/write access for all users.

mount -t nfs 192.168.20.251:/data/Videos share

(note the 'share' folder does exist)

and I get

mount.nfs: Operation not permitted

Ive no idea whats going on, its been a couple of days and I just cant work it out.

OK, you say the share is SMB, but you are attempting to mount it via NFS. Those are two different protocols. You either have to enable NFS (and the whole NAS, if it's not already on) and set NFS access rights for the share or mount it on the remote system using SMB.

  Use SMB only. Combining things with NFS is a much to complex plan.

    Thanks, I'm almost there!
    
    sudo mount -t cifs -o username=plex //192.168.20.251 /mnt/local_share
    
    I get 'Password for plex@//192.168.20.251: (press TAB for no echo)"
    
    The user 'plex' has a password of 'plex' but it doesnt work, or the admin password. I must be be missing something basic and very obvious.
