No unusual characters or nuthin'! Just numbers, actually. (Shh, don't tell.)
the only other thing i can think of then is to double check, and make sure that the spelling and directory path are the same.
beyond that, i can't imagine anything else could be wrong.

I am back again. I want to echo what someone else has said - thank you so much for all your help and patience. REALLY appreciated.
OK.
1. How do I get "cat /etc/passwd | grep edward" for the server?
2. I tried your suggestion of:
The result was:Code:sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/Public /mnt/qnap -o username=edward,password=edward,uid=edward,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
Owner - edward - Create and delete files
Group - Users - Access files
Others - Folder Access - Access files
Using my last attempt:
This gets theCode:sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/Public /mnt/qnap -o username=edward,password=edward,uid=edward,gid=nogroup,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
owner - edward - Create and delete files (What I want)
Group as nogroup - correct, but the permissions only as Folder Access - Access files only
This is the only error left now. I would like the nogroup to have full read/write access if possible. Is this in fact possible?
Once again - thanks for all your help. I guess I would be somewhat lost without your help
I am having trouble mounting a windows share.
Once in about every 50 attempts
will work. Every other attempt I receiveCode:mount -t cifs //server/share /media/share -o username=user,password=pwd,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
If I runCode:mount error 5 = Input/output error refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I can see the share, but I'm unable to connect to it.Code:smbtree -N
I can connect to other servers using the above command and then umount then re-mount over and over again. But to this server one in 50 times if I'm lucky. If I do get connected, the mount is disconnected at some point.
I am using this share from a windows box with no problem.
doesn't seem to be a very common issue, I didn't find much on this forum or on Google.Code:mount error 5
I hope it's a simple issue.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide
i thought you mentioned in post 549 that you were trying to connect two linux boxes together. did i misunderstand?
this permissions issue is not likely to be fixed by changing things on the client side. i think this problem is coming from the server side.

try connecting by ip address instead of by server name:
this problem could occur if a firewall on your windows machine is blocking name resolution.Code:mount -t cifs //server-ip-address/share /media/share -o username=user,password=pwd,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
if this does not work, please provide more information about the server. is it a windows computer, or NAS device? if windows, what version? any security software enabled?

Thank-you for the suggestion. I get the same result by ip address. I changed the user/passwd to a domain admin and it works.. There must be something wrong with the permissions of the user I created. I gave the user access to the share, and file permissions. User in the Domain Admin group, works.. User I created not so much..
