How to access shared folder on Windows from Ubuntu machine

[Pavel_47]

Instead of the ip address, you can perhaps try //SARATOGA/User/... Also make sure the username and password are correct.

Tried: \\\\SARATOGA\\pdf2 instead of IP.
Here is error:
mount error: couldn't resolve address for SARATOGA: Unknown error

I don't think it's a good idea to use backslashes in samba paths. Ordinary slashes should work.

With this syntax:

SARATOGA/pdf2 (instead of IP)

the same error as before - bad UNC

---

\\SARATOGA\pdf2
also bad UNC
