My sw ntfs shared directory is an installation directory on a windows 2008 server. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

I did the mkdir /media/sw and smbclient -L successfully... then while in root I tried 

mount -t cifs -o user=username,ro //132.72.116.14/sw /media/sw

and got: 

mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Apparently, you wanted to mount the shared folder which was in the windows server. As a result, you got an error of user privileges, that was because you forgot to set the password of the windows server. Mounting the windows machine from Ubuntu requires you to set both user && pass of the windows server. You just need to use your windows server login details.
