Shared Folders from the command line
 

How can I navigate to the Shared Folders shown in File Manager from the terminal command line? Cruising through the root directory tree I did not see anything that looked to be comparable.

I could not find this question anywhere in the forums, so if it has been answered earlier, please post a link to the thread.

Thanks

hmm... I'm only offering this advice based on a Linux background. You might want to start at the root directory and use the "find" command to locate a file in the filesystem that you know is in your Shared Folders directory.

If you have a file there named "grocery_list.txt", then you can search for it with:
find / -name grocery*

and it should show you the full path of the location of that file. View the man page for find, or if you don't have access to it, just google for the Linux Find command and you should locate documentation on it to show you how to use it with other options.

Windows shares show up in the File manager through the magic of GnomeVFS. However, if I correctly recall previous discussion of this question in these fora, GnomeVFS' magic doesn't extend to actually mounting the shares anywhere.

I believe you're out of luck.

Ok. No big deal, really. Thanks for the quick replies.

You could also try out wizard-mounter. It lets you map samba (and NFS) shares to folders on the filesystem.

@jkq - Thanks for the suggestion. I usually use CIFS to mount the shares when needed. I was just hoping that maybe there was already a mount point I could use instead, but apparently there isn't.

Re: Shared Folders from the command line
 

How exactly have you been doing that?

I never figured out how to mount CIFS shares without installing wizard-mounter.

I followed the steps discussed in the following thread:

I use Personal Menu entries to execute mounting and unmounting.

Aha, the cifs module is available from there too.
