Mounting SMB filesystem on Linux Mint

After numerous Googling..this is what had worked for me on Linux Mint 13 Maya.

$ sudo mount -t smbfs [DESTLOCATION] [LocalStorage] -o user=[username],password=[password]
Example:


$ sudo mount -t smbfs //X.X.X.X/srcfolder ~/tempStorage/ -o user=janedoe,password=****


If it is successful, Linux Mint to give a notification on the top left indicating a new removable drive is mounted.

If it is not successful, try replace "user" and "password"  with "username" or "pass" as the field names.
