List of all shared folders

Solution 1:

Use this command: smbclient -L localhost. A sample of its output is as follow:

Enter username's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]

Sharename       Type      Comment
---------       ----      -------
print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (host-name server (Samba, Ubuntu))
hp1320          Printer   Hewlett-Packard hp LaserJet 1320 series
HP-LaserJet-1200 Printer   HP LaserJet 1200
Public          Disk      
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]

Server               Comment
---------            -------
                     host-name server (Samba, Ubuntu)

Workgroup            Master
---------            -------
WORKGROUP            HOST-NAME

Solution 2:

gvfs-mount -l

GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the Gnome desktop that allows access to shared drives via SMB, FTP, WebDav, and SFTP. Accessed shares are mounted under ~/.gvfs/, you can see them there as well.

The command above lists all attached external drives, and network shares, e.g.:

$ gvfs-mount -l
Drive(0): 1.5 TB Hard Disk
[snip]
Mount(0): public on fileserver -> smb://fileserver/public/
  Type: GDaemonMount
Mount(1): SFTP for bert on server.example.com -> sftp://[email protected]/
  Type: GDaemonMount
Mount(2): WebDAV as bert on server.example.com -> davs://[email protected]/dav
  Type: GDaemonMount

If you add the option -i you get even more information.

Solution 3:

For samba shares we have a set of utilities that come with the samba suite:

• smbtree

  smbtree is a smb browser program in text mode. It is similar to the "Network Neighborhood" found on Windows computers. It prints a tree with all the known domains, the servers in those domains and the shares on the servers. ^Manpage

• smbstatus

  smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections. ^Manpage

  By invoking the following a list of shares will be displayed:

  smbstatus --shares
