[ubuntu-uk] Mounting NAS using curlftpfs

[Jon Reynolds]

If I try the command as you suggest I get this:

jonr at jonr-laptop:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/PUBLIC
/home/jonr/fnd/ -o username=PUBLIC,password=''
mount: block device //192.168.0.3/PUBLIC is write-protected, mounting
read-only
mount: cannot mount block device //192.168.0.3/PUBLIC read-only

A different error again!
