share [g+] share [fb]

I'm trying to access a shared network server via terminal on the Mac.

I can obviously access directories on the same system using just the command cd (e.g. cd /Applications) but our shared network I just can't work out how to get to?

I'm starting to wonder if it's a security issue that would prevent a user from seeing/accessing it.

Mounted disks are located under /Volumes, e.g. cd /Volumes/MySharedVolume. Belongs on superuser.com BTW. – Paul R Jul 15 '10 at 14:50

I suspect the volume has to be mounted first before you'll be able to acces it. 

% cd /Volumes/[you server/volume name here]/Users/Shared/

Or you should use ssh.

cd /Volumes

there you will find all mounted volumes. There will also be the network-volumes.

Thanks very much! that did exactly the trick. Are there any good reference I could use in future? – Mark McDonnell Jul 15 '10 at 16:03

Have a look in your root directory under Volumes.

Use command df to show all mounted volume.
