Mount remote samba share at local mount point

I have a remote server which can be mounted with KDE Dolphin, the address bar lists as:
smb://remote_user@192.168.5.44/USB_SSD/

And I can browse and copy from and to any file. It asks for user and password and I can set don't remember for security uses. Login with user and password is mandatory, no anonymous access is allowed.

Any help to mount that remote folder as a local one, for example to /mnt/smb/ and I already have installed smbclient and cifs-utils, maybe Dolphin requires that too.
Dolphin does not create a mount point and does not require root password to view the share.

Re: Mount remote samba share at local mount point

I already read the wiki but not what was looking for. This did it:

$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.5.44/USB_SSD /mnt/smb/ -o username=remote_user,iocharset=utf8
Password for remote_user@//192.168.5.44/USB_SSD:

My error was to use the the option "password=ask" which doesn't seem to exist. If the "username" option is not used then tries to login with local user, which is not the same as remote user and fails always.
