mount error(13)permission denied

Question

I get as far as sudo mount.cifs //192.168.0.238/RasPi-4B /home/pi/share/ -o user=gerardfaber and when I put my password in I get mount error(13)permission denied and the RasPi-4B file is marked as everyone read/write it is also marked as Gerard Faber owner.

Answer 1

Hi,

please have a look to the article 'Raspberry Pi 4b - Getting started not working' - it seems to be the same issue...

I had already seen this post and it does not help. I stated that my RasPi-4B file is marked as everyone read/write. Please Help.

Did you enable read AND write access for everyone when sharing your Windows 'RasPi-4B' folder?

Additionally, you can have a look to different RasPi forums - this topic is not specific to GUI development with Embedded Wizard - it is more or less a typical RasPi question. I just searched for "RasPi error (13) permission denied" and found a lot of information.

I fixed it. it was my computer name is different from the user name so I used the user name and use the Microsoft live password and got in.

4. USE CORRECT LOGIN DETAILS

If you want to use the password, then make sure you are entering the right password on other computers. Try with both your local username and password and your Microsoft account details. To confirm the username, go to C Drive followed by Users. Here, the folder names represent the various users on your PC.

Hello,

the computer name is not relevant - you need login and password (same when you authenticate yourself after Windows start).

Anyhow - great to hear that it is working now...

Best regards,

Manfred.

Hi Manfred,

                  If this is the case then you need to change the wording of this in your Getting Started with Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

★Mount the Build Environment folder of your PC to this new share directory. Please use the IP address of your PC and your login name on the PC. In order to get access to your shared directory, you need to insert your PC login password.

My login name on my PC (Gerard Faber) is different than my login name (gjfaber@) on my Microsoft account and neither of them worked it is only when I used C:\Users\gjfab name (gjfab) and the Microsoft password, not my computer pin number that it all worked for me.

Thank you,

Hi Gerard,

thanks for the feedback.

Can you try in a Windows console the command

whoami

this should report the username which should be used for authentication via mount. Correct?

Usually, the Windows login and the folder \Users\<user> are identical.

Best regards,

Manfred.

Hi Manfred,

                   You are right I tried whoami Command Prompt it worked perfectly. Thank you for all of your help Manfred.

C:\Users\gjfab>whoami

gerardfaber\gjfab

C:\Users\gjfab>  

Thank you,

                 Gerard Faber.
