Mounting windows filesystems in Linux

A quick note on mounting windows filesystems on linux.

Your platform will require cifs-utils.

sudo apt install cifs-utils

From here, you can connect and mount a remote file system.

sudo mount -t cifs //ip.address.of.windows/location/to/mount /mnt -o user=john,password=mypassword,domain=mydomain

Done. You can now access the remote filesystem.
