So while performing a mount cifs -t -o user=testuser,PASSWD (so that I get prompted for a password). I get the prompt and when I enter the password I get an invalid argument error.
thanks for the reply. That works, but it displays the credentials on the screen and using quiet does not do much to remedy this. Would you happen to know where I can store my credentials file within the bootable USB where it can have enought permissions to be read?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I have verified using this reference: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/mount.cifs.8.html for the mount cifs parameters. According to this passwords typed at the prompts should work regardless of delimeters or special characters.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

amtech,

sorry, I don't have that info handy.
