Mount UNC path different user

[john doe]

Hi,

How can I do the following on Cygwin?:


/sbin/mount.cifs //server/share /mount-point -o user=different-user

In other words, how can I mount a windows share with a specific user ?

You can't. Cygwin is not a kernel module, it's a userspace program, and Cygwin
mounts are bind mounts.

net use \\server\share /user:chosen\user *

Then you can use Cygwin mount to place the shared directory wherever you want.

Thank you, looks like I forgot that Cygwin is on Windows! :)
