To mount an NTFS windows share on linux you need to make sure that smbfs is installed - sudo apt-get install smbfs

Edit the file /etc/fstab and add a line like this:

//172.18.0.13/linuxbackups /media/netsharename smbfs username=DOMAIN\mywindowsusername,password=*********,dmask=777,fmask=777,lfs 0  0

To explain. It starts with server ip and share name, The name you wish to mount it as (this folder must be created first!), file system protocol (in this case smbfs), username and password to connect with (don’t forget domain if needed), then group and user permissions.

The lfs bit at the end is necessary if you want to able to write files bigger than 2GB. If you don’t include it you can’t use files bigger than that.
