Change Directory (cd) to Network Share (Windows XP) in Ubuntu

Question

How do I navigate in the terminal to a Windows network share?

I can access the Windows work-group using the GUI but I would like to get there in bash.

Answer 1

Try looking in ~/.gvfs.

Answer 2

You could install smbfs and mount a Windows network share using smbmount. This way you won't need to connect to the Winodows share with the UI before accessing it.

sudo apt-get install smbfs
man smbmount

Answer 3

Those share folders are supposed to be mounted at /media, so just do ls /media and find your windows share folder name, and you could just use that share folder /media/something as normal file system.

You could also check mount points with df command also.
