How can I access shared folders in Ubuntu?

Accessing shared folders in Ubuntu typically requires using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, which can be set up and accessed through the following steps:

1. Install the necessary software:
   Run the following command in the terminal to install the necessary software packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

1. Create a local directory for mounting shared folders.

sudo mkdir /mnt/share

1. a location on the server where files can be accessed and shared
2. What’s your username?
3. secret code

sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/share -o username=username,password=password

1. After entering the password, if everything goes smoothly, you will be able to see the content of the shared folder in the /mnt/share directory.
2. Uninstalling shared folders:
   If you want to disconnect from a shared folder, you can use the following command to uninstall the shared folder.

sudo umount /mnt/share

Please note that the //server/share, username, and password in the above steps need to be replaced with the actual shared folder path, username, and password. Additionally, to ensure that the shared folder is automatically mounted each time the system starts, you can add the mount command to the /etc/fstab file.
