Command line reference to network shares

  Date: Dec 04    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 524
  

I must be missing something obvious.

I have two Ubuntu machines: Faraday, running 8.04, and StrayCat, running 9.10.
Both have Samba installed.

I routinely create and share folders on one machine, and open them on the other
using Gnome-Nautilus.

Today, I wanted to copy some files at the command line. I had expected to see
something come out of the "mount" command showing me the shared folder - but
there wasn't anything referring to my shared folder.

I tried a few possible syntaxes from memory, like //STRAYCAT/rs-harpo and
STRAYCAT:rs-harpo. No joy.

Is there some special syntax for a share opened via Nautilus? Or do I have to
work out a Samba command to mount my shared folder?

When you open a network share in Nautilus, an entry for that folder is created
in ".gvfs", off of your home directory. (Gvfs must stand for Gnome Virtual File
System.)

So: If I use Nautilus to open the shared folder "rs-harpo" on my "StrayCat"
machine, the command line reference for that folder is:

"~/.gvfs/rs-harpo on straycat"

just make life easy I make a symlink to the ~/.gvfs folder (I
call it network) and that lives in my home folder.
