Yes the folder/directory/dataset does exist on my NAS box, and have been
downloading pictures and video to /CCTV for about 3 years now. Now I
want to dowonload video from my PiZero to /CCTV/PiZero on my NAS box

Pi Zero
ls /
.  bin dev home lost+found media opt root sbin sys usr
.. boot etc lib man       mnt   proc  run srv tmp var

NAS box
ls /
.cshrc          boot            entropy         mnt             sys

.profile        compat          etc             proc            tmp

.rnd            conf            lib             rescue          usr

COPYRIGHT       data            libexec         root            var

bin             dev             media           sbin


Why I added this  /mnt/CCTV/PiZero to /etc/fstab, was because running
the mount command kept say the said folder doesn't exist.

On my linux desktop I a similar line to the fstab file as I was using
emby media player:
192.168.0.22:/mnt/WinShare/Media/Music /mnt/WinShare/Media/Music nfs
auto, nofa$

And it works.

I am not using any reference guide, just from youtube and poster who
reply to me.
