How do I mount a guest Samba share on Ubuntu?

I have a public (guest enabled) Samba share running on my local network from my Xubuntu server. I can access this on my Xubuntu 22.04.02 linux client with Thunar using the path smb://hostname.local/path. Accessing the share in this way, I have full read/write access, as intended (and do not need to enter a username or password).

The Samba config is:

[myshare]
    comment = myshare
    path = /srv/samba
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes
    browsable = yes
    public = yes
    writeable = yes
    local master = yes
    preferred master = yes

I would like to mount the share to make it possible to access via the file system. I am using the following command:

sudo mount -t cifs //hostname.local/path /mnt/ftp1/ -o guest,rw

I get the following error:

mount error(13): Permission denied

I'm at a loss on what to differently on the mount command. Grateful for any pointers.

But I'm still not able to create a writeable mount, despite having write access without credentials via Thunar smb://.

sudo mount -t cifs //hostname.local/path /mnt/ftp1/ -o guest,rw

rw:

That option is redundant since it's the default.

It makes the mount write-able. Not to anyone only to the owner of the mount which is root.

You have many options:

Replace root as owner with you

This is what the Thunar method of access is doing.

sudo mount -t cifs //hostname.local/path /mnt/ftp1/ -o guest,uid=morbius

Make it so all local users can access the mount:

sudo mount -t cifs //hostname.local/path /mnt/ftp1/ -o guest,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,nounix

You can even make it so that only members of a given group can write to the mount and others can only read:

sudo mount -t cifs //hostname.local/path /mnt/ftp1/ -o guest,uid=morbius,gid=plugdev,nounix,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664

morbius can write, all members of the plugdev group can write, and everyone else can only read.

Many possibilities.
