Issue mounting CIFS/Samba share on Flint 3e with remote Windows 11 host folder

Router
1

I'm having trouble mounting a network share on my GL.iNet router via CLI. I have already installed cifs-utils and kmod-fs-cifs, but the mount command keeps failing.

The command I'm using is: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.6/G-Shared-Interchange /mnt/192_168_1_6-G_Shared_Interchange -o username=danys,password=thepassword,vers=3.0

Details:

  • Router Model: Flint 3e

  • Firmware Version: 4.8.7

  • Remote host OS: Windows 11

  • Mount Point: The directory /mnt/192_168_1_6-G_Shared_Interchange has already been created.

  • Error Message: ount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg) mount: mounting //192.168.1.6/G-Shared-Interchange on /mnt/192_168_1_6-G_Shared_Interchange failed: Permission denied

I've tried different SMB versions (2.0, 3.0) but without success. Is there any specific dependency or configuration step I might be missing for GL.iNet's OpenWrt implementation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

Based on the error, it seems the connection to the remote server cannot be established. Please check whether your SMB credentials and the server configuration are correct.

Additionally, if the server is running Windows, you may also need to specify the domain parameter: -o domain=your_domain.
