Connecting to SAMBA server

[TroN-0074]

Hi I am trying to connect to my SAMBA server by issuing a command with the following syntax:

mount -t cifs -o username=<username>,password='<password>' //server/share /mountpoint

and I get

mount: /server/share: Operation not supported by device

I have installed SAMBA from the ports in FreeBSD is there something else I needed to install and I have missed? I will appreciate all advice. Thank you.

mount_smbfs()?

Thank you it worked fine, I was little confused at first because it is very different from what I am used to.
And in case someone else is looking for connecting to a SAMBA server this is what I did

 # mount_smbfs -I server_IP //user@domain/share /usr/home/user

I still need to try different options so I can do more things in the server other than just read files, but I would eventually need to modify them.

Thank you.
