I don't really have a good memory, but I talked through it with some folks online and after 2 hours none of us could figure it out so I don't think you'll have much luck.
The error I kept getting was mount error(13): Permission denied when trying to run
sudo mount.cifs '//DESKTOP-N84OKKP/My Music/ -o username='*******',password='*******'
(username and password redacted, but there was a space in the username and an ! in the password for the computer sharing the folder)
Here's what I tried:
- Setting the username/password to those of either computer
- Setting the UID (with
uid=$UID) - Changing the name of the shared folder
- Unsharing it and resharing it
- Putting different parts of the command in quotes
- Switching between left slashes and right slashes
- Trying both
sudo mount.cifsandsudo mount -t cifs - Various combinations of the above
- Changing the security protocol with
sec=(I don't remember what to, I didn't write this one down)
I know the shared folder itself works, because I can access it from a non-linux computer.



Yeah, I forgot to make that a part of the comment, oops!
I'll try your other suggestions when I can.
