        },
        share: {
          host: "my.server.com",
          folder: "/path/on/server"     // paths can be windows or *nix style (will be normalised)
        },
        mountPoint: "./share",          // path to mount the share (can be windows or unix style)
        username: "someuser",
        password: "password"
      }
    }
  },
  unmount: {
    share: {
      options: {
        windows:{                    // windows specific options
          driveLetter: "X"
        },
        mountPoint: "./share"
      }
    }
  }

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mount');

On *nix systems, the share will be mounted at the specified mount-point. On Windows, the share will be mounted on the specified drive letter, and a symlink will be created at the mount-point.
