hi,
am currently working on Raspberry Pi as low-cost HD surveillance camera.Now am trying to store the videos on a windows shared folder by adding an extra line of //YOURSERVERNAME/YOURSHAREDFOLDERNAME /mnt/camshare cifs username=YOURSHAREDFOLDERUSERNAME,password=YOURSHAREDFOLDERPASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 in the /etc/fstab file.
but even after doing so am unable to see a new folder created on my windows machine(foldername/mnt/camshare).so can anyone tell me what could be the problem??

Re: sharing a folder through raspberry pi
I think you've got it round the wrong way.
Which system hosts the data? Which is the consumer?
If you want windows to share data stored on your RPi you'll need to run samba on your RPi and 'NET USE' the shared folder on windows.
The way you're trying it windows hosts the data the RPi is the consumer.

Re: sharing a folder through raspberry pi
thanks for the reply.
what i want is rpi is the host an windows is the consumer.
what actually am following is the tutorial:http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspber ... /?ALLSTEPS
The tutorial says that it has to create a folder after editing the etc/fstab file.But even after doing so,it has not been created.
what could be the problem? and please tell me how to solve it.
thanks in advance!!

Re: sharing a folder through raspberry pi
Hallo, I'm also tested this projekt.Thirst it does'nt work. Then I read a page from ubuntuusers http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samba_Client ... -Einbinden and exchange the servername with the IP Adress from my windows PC.
Now it's working!
Now it's working!
Re: sharing a folder through raspberry pi
I have the same problem. I alsready used the IP address of my PC as YOURSERVERNAME.
The directory is not created. If I create it myself then still it seems not to be linked to my windows folder.
One issue I face is that windows seems not to allow a username/password on a shared folder. So why is it needed anyway in the fstab file?

Re: sharing a folder through raspberry pi
Hallo,
so look my entry in the fstab:
//192.168.2.107/Raspi /mnt/camshare cifs username=Windowsuser,password=Windowspassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
Dont forget a space line to the end in the fstab!
I had create a User for my Paspberry in WIN7 with Password and then I shared the Folder (Raspi) for this user with all rights. You can test the Shared Folder with an other Computer.
The Folder "mnt/camshare" I had also even created.
