Determining how to share files and directories between computers is a common problem — one that has many different solutions. Some of these solutions include file transfer protocols (like SFTP), cloud storage services, and distributed file system protocols (like NFS and SMB). Figuring out what solution is right for your use case can be confusing, especially if you do not know the correct terminology, techniques, or the tools that are available. Sharing files can be made even more complicated if you intend to do so over the internet or use multiple operating systems (like Linux, Windows, and macOS).
This guide covers the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Specifically, it discusses using the SMB protocol to mount a Windows SMB share (a shared directory) to a Linux system. By following this guide, you will be able to access all of your files within a Windows folder (such as C:\My_Files ) on your Linux system at whichever directory you choose as a mount point (such as /mnt/my_files ). This method of file sharing is appropriate when you need to access entire Windows directories remotely as if they were local resources. In most cases, SMB is a native (or easily installed) file sharing solution for users that need access to the same directory and is commonly shared through a corporate intranet or the same private network.
Network File System (NFS) is another distributed file system protocol that’s similar to SMB. While SMB is more commonly used in primarily Windows environments and NFS is used in primary Linux environments, both have cross-platform support. This guide does not cover NFS, but you can learn more about it by reading through our NFS guides. If you are not in a Windows environment and are looking to share directories between Linux systems, consider using NFS.
While security and performance of the SMB protocol has improved over time, it is often still a concern when connecting to an SMB share over the internet. This is typically not recommended unless you are using SMB over QUIC (recently introduced on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022), intend to always use the latest protocol version (3.1.1 as of this writing), or are connected through a personal or corporate VPN. If you are not able to implement these recommendations and still wish to share files over the internet, consider if the SFTP protocol would work for you instead.
Overview of the SMB Protocol
The SMB protocol provides the ability to share entire directories and printers between multiple machines over a network (typically a private network). It is widely used in Windows environments due to its relative simplicity (for system administrators), built-in Windows support, and extensive Linux support (basic support is also included in recent Linux kernels).
SMB Versions
To understand SMB and some of the related terminology (specifically CIFS), it’s helpful to know a little about the history of the protocol:
- SMB1: (1983+) While Microsoft is the developer and maintainer of SMB, it was originally designed at IBM. Microsoft modified that original design and implemented the “SMB 1.0/CIFS Server” as part of their LAN Manager OS and, eventually, in Windows. Version 1 of the protocol has been discontinued (as of 2013) and is no longer installed on modern Windows systems. There are many security and performance issues with SMB1 that make it largely unfit for use today.
- CIFS: (1996) Microsoft attempted to rename SMB to CIFS (Common Internet File System) as it continued to develop features for it, including adding support for the TCP protocol. While the name was retired in subsequent versions, the term still appears in various tooling and documentation as it was in use for over 10 years.
- SMB2: (2006) Version 2 introduced huge performance benefits as it greatly reduced the amount of requests sent between machines and expanded the size of data/storage fields (from 16-bit to 32-bit and 64-bit). It was released alongside Windows Vista. Even though SMB2 (and all SMB versions) remained a proprietary protocol, Microsoft released the specifications for it so that other services (like Linux ports) could provide interoperability with this new version.
- SMB3: (2012) Version 3 was released alongside Windows 8 and brought extensive updates to security (including end-to-end encryption) and performance. Additional updates were released with Windows 8.1 (SMB 3.0.2) and Windows 10 (3.1.1). When using the SMB protocol today, always use the latest version — unless you are supporting legacy systems and have no other choice.
For a more comprehensive version history of SMB, review the Server Message Block > History Wikipedia entry.
Linux SMB Support
- Samba: Unix support for the SMB protocol was initially provided by Samba. Since Microsoft initially did not release public specifications for their proprietary protocol, the developers of Samba had to reverse engineer it. Future versions of Samba were able to use the public specifications of later SMB protocols. Samba includes support for SMB3 (3.1.1) and is actively updated. Samba provides extensive support for all features of the SMB protocol and acts as a stand-alone file and print server. For more background information, see the Samba Wikipedia entry.
- LinuxCIFS utils: This in-kernel software acts as an SMB client and is the preferred method of mounting existing SMB shares on Linux. It was originally included as part of the Samba software, but is now available on its own. LinuxCIFS utils, available as the cifs_utils package in most Linux distributions, is used within this guide.
- ksmbd: Developed as an in-kernel SMB server in cooperation with the Samba project, ksmbd is designed to be a more performant fileserver. It doesn’t implement all of Samba’s extensive features (beyond file sharing).
Before You Begin
- Obtain the necessary information required to access an existing SMB share, including the IP address of the SMB server and the path of the share. If you do not have a share, you can create a local directory using the mkdir command and then create a Samba share for that location. Access to an existing SMB share on a Windows or Linux machine. Creating an SMB share is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
- Have access to an Ubuntu or Debian Linux system where you intend to access your SMB share.
Installation
The LinuxCIFS utils package provides the tools needed to connect to a share and manage mounts on a Linux system. You use it to help create and manage a connection to a Windows, macOS, or Linux share.

Как в Linux монтировать шару CIFS
Обновлено: 01.05.2023 Опубликовано: 18.07.2016
Что такое Linux и CIFS простыми словами. Работа с общими папками Windows происходит с использованием протокола CIFS (SMB). Все примеры в данном руководстве выполняются на Linux Ubuntu и CentOS.
Подготовка
Установка пакетов
Сетевые порты
Синтаксис
* вместо mount.cifs можно написать mount -t cifs.
mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/public /mnt
* простой пример монтирования папки public на сервере 192.168.1.1 в локальный каталог /mnt.
Если нам не известны расшаренные папки на сервере, мы можем воспользоваться утилитой smbclient. Для начала установим ее.
а) на RPM (Rocky Linux / РЕД ОС / Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora):
б) на Deb (Debian / Ubuntu / Astra Linux / Mint):
или, при необходимости авторизоваться на файловом сервере:
smbclient -L 192.168.1.1 -U username
Ручное монтирование
Теперь монтирование можно выполнить следующей командой:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt -o user=dmosk
* в данном примере будет примонтирован каталог share на сервере 192.168.1.10 в локальную папку /mnt под учетной записью dmosk.
То же самое, с использованием домена:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt -o user=dmosk,domain=dmosk.local
Автоматическое монтирование CIFS через fstab
Для начала создаем файл, в котором будем хранить данные авторизации при подключении к общей папке:
И добавляем в него данные следующего вида:
username=dmosk
password=dPassw0rd
domain=dmosk.local
* в этом примере создана пара логин/пароль — dmosk/dPassw0rd; domain указывать не обязательно, если аутентификация выполняется без него.
Задаем права на созданный файл, чтобы доступ был только у пользователя, скажем, root:
chown root:root /root/.smbclient
Теперь открываем конфигурационный файл fstab:
и добавляем в него следующее:
//192.168.1.10/share /mnt cifs user,rw,credentials=/root/.smbclient 0 0
* в данном примере выполняется монтирование общей папки share на сервере с IP-адресом 192.168.1.10 в каталог /mnt. Параметры для подключения — user: позволяет выполнить монтирование любому пользователю, rw: с правом на чтение и запись, credentials: файл, который мы создали на предыдущем шаге.
Чтобы проверить правильность настроек, вводим следующую команду:
Примеры использования опций
Версии SMB
Если на стороне Windows используется старая или слишком новая версия протокола SMB, при попытке монтирования мы можем получить ошибку mount error(112): Host is down. Чтобы это исправить, указываем версию:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt/ -o vers=1.0
* монтирование по протоколу SMB1.0
Монтирование от гостевой учетной записи
Если сервер принимает запросы без логина и пароля, то клиент подключается, как гость:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt -o guest
//192.168.1.10/share /mnt cifs guest 0 0
Права на примонтированные каталоги
При монтировании папки мы можем указать определенные права:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt -o file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
Для указания владельца, который будет назначен для примонтированного каталога, используем:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/share /mnt -o uid=33,gid=33
* чтобы посмотреть идентификаторы пользователя, вводим id -u и id -g .
