I'm running Lubuntu 16.04.1 on my laptop. At work, I plug it into the wall with an Ethernet cable. This provides Internet access and also lets me access a directory of files (perhaps a share, or is it a server, or both?) called cchfs (smb://cchfs), which is used as a mapped network drive on the Windows machines here. I can see the files in cchfs by opening PCManFM, choosing Go → Network, and then opening the icons "Windows Network", "NPI_HRRP", "CCHFS" (here I'm prompted for my login details), "Root".
This all works fine, but I'd like to be able to interact with these files in zsh instead of just PCManFM, and I can't figure out how to do that. I think the first step, after creating a mount point with sudo mkdir /media/cchfs, is to mount the filesystem like so:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=NPI_HRRP/KArfer smb://cchfs /media/cchfs
but this produces the error Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet. From this question, which is about this error message, it looks like I need to replace smb://cchfs with //SOMETHING/cchfs or //cchfs/SOMETHING. But I don't know which, nor what the SOMETHING should be. I've tried a lot of guesses but only gotten pretty cryptic error messages.
Edit 1: Following these instructions on a Windows machine at the office, I got:
C:\Users\karfer>net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK X: \\cchfs\root Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
C:\Users\karfer>nslookup cchfs
Server: nsmcoint.medctr.ucla.edu
Address: 10.2.14.10
Name: cchfs.cch.ucla.edu
Address: 10.48.154.235
and so I tried:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=NPI_HRRP/KArfer //10.48.154.235/cchfs /media/cchfs
which yields mount error(13): Permission denied (-v just adds mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.48.154.235,unc=\\10.48.154.235\cchfs,user=NPI_HRRP/KArfer,pass=********) and in dmesg:
[ 2734.297317] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[ 2734.297332] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
[ 2734.297591] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
I also tried //10.48.154.235/root in place of //10.48.154.235/cchfs, which didn't change anything.
I'm pretty sure I'm typing my password correctly. My password has capital letters and an exclamation point in it. Could that be a problem for mount although it's seemingly not a problem for PCManFM?
Edit 2: It looks like my credentials get accepted if I use KArfer in place of NPI_HRRP/KArfer. (It doesn't seem to make a difference whether or not I pass in domain=NPI_HRRP as well.) But now I get:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.48.154.235,unc=\\10.48.154.235\cchfs,user=KArfer,pass=********
Retrying with upper case share name
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.48.154.235,unc=\\10.48.154.235\CCHFS,user=KArfer,pass=********
mount error(6): No such device or address
Changing cchfs to a few other things doesn't change anything, except that if I use X$ in place of cchfs, I get Permission denied again.
Edit 3: The output of smbclient -W=NPI_HRRP -U=KArfer -L //CCHFS is:

Enter KArfer's password:

However, mount -t cifs -o username=NPI_HRRP/KArfer'%hunter2' //CCHFS /mnt, replacing hunter2 with my password, yields mount error(22): Invalid argument (after prompting for my password despite my inclusion of it in the command line). Same thing if I replace CCHFS with 10.48.154.235.
