Question: Trying to connect to the time capsule, I've explicitly set my username and password using a separate OSX machine. So I know all of my credentials are correct.

For some reason though, when I try to connect through nautilus, I get the message:

```
Got error "kFPAuthContinue" from server

```

Obviously Apple is just being difficult here, but I'd love to be able to read and write files to my airport time capsule from Ubuntu computers.

Answer: 
my solution was to mount the drive from the shell as root using :

```
mount //IPADDROFCAPSULE/Data /media/capsule -o username=jeff,sec=ntlm,uid=jeff

```

notes : 

* username=jeff : jeff is the name setup on the account on the time capsule (using airport utility on an iphone)
* uid=jeff : jeff is my logon name in linux
* IPADDROFCAPSULE : put in your I.P. address of the capsule
* Data is the name of the drive as set in airport utility
* /media/capsule is a mount point of own choosing - make the directory first of course

I'm using Fedora, but I expect this will work the same on ubuntu, etc., if you use sudo where you cannot log in as root

Found the answer here : <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2118108>

They show : 

```
sudo mount.cifs //IP_ADDRESS/Data ~/capsule -o password=CAPSULE_PASSWORD,sec=ntlm,uid=LOCAL_USERNAME

```

and I think this works if instead of accounts in airport utility you set a password on the drive itself. Or it's that this user had an account on the time capsule with the same name as the `LOCAL_USERNAME`.

But my line above works for me!
On later versions of Ubuntu, Samba requires you to specify you want the old version with `vers=1.0` (this previously was the default but no longer is).

I've written a full guide for Ubuntu 20.04 on [this AskUbuntu post](https://askubuntu.com/a/1351527/).
