Looks like that you have tried to mount network share with ntfs filesystem, right? Have you tried to mount it using mount.cifs or smbfs? Or even your share has another filesystem it shoud use smbfs not ntfs-3g I think.

Could you please provide mount -v | grep $foldername output for already mounted share?

And part of samba.conf fot this share from server computer.

yes i was tried mount.cifs and smbfs also no use. then mount -v | grep $foldername return nothing . – Moovendra Dhinesh babu Aug 31 '13 at 19:55
$foldername means name of your folder under which your share already mounted ($ is a symbol for shell variables). Could you please provide command you used to mount folder directly from cli? – Svyatoslav Aug 31 '13 at 20:12
and could you please provide /etc/samba/smb.conf content. – Svyatoslav Aug 31 '13 at 20:16
hm, I'm just curious - have you used sudo to do mount command? As I see you receive this error from CLI, not from logs. – Svyatoslav Aug 31 '13 at 20:17
No i did not used sudo for mount on etc/fstab – Moovendra Dhinesh babu Aug 31 '13 at 20:21
Hm, if you run mount command from ordinary user (who hasn't superuser rights) it will fails. Please try to mount this share using sudo. It works with the following way sudo $your-command – Svyatoslav Aug 31 '13 at 20:24
Am i do this in etc/fstab – Moovendra Dhinesh babu Aug 31 '13 at 20:26
No, it needed only for direct command, to mount shares which has entries in /etc/fstab you need to do sudo mount /media/HTTPServer particularly for your directory. – Svyatoslav Aug 31 '13 at 20:29
