Ubuntu CIFS Mount to Windows

To support SMB2 mount from Ubuntu to Windows, edit the fstab file and include this:

//windows.domain.local/share/folder /mount/point cifs credentials=/root/.credentials,vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,dir_mode=0770,uid=33,gid=33 0 0

iPhoto Backup

I am using iPhone and taking photos with it. As you know it imports the photos automatically to the iPhoto when it is connected to the OSX. I created the following bash script to mount the Windows file share and copy the photos to the Windows Server

#!/bin/bash
mount -t smbfs //username:password@windowsserver/pictures /Users/laurence/Mount
rsync -urz /Users/laurence/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/Masters /Users/laurence/Mount/iPhoto
umount /Users/laurence/Mount
