I have mapped a samba share from the GUI (12.04) of my desktop and it works fine, but I would like to connect to this machine (the one I mapped from) via ssh and be able to see the mapped share. However, looking at /dev etc. I don't see anything like it. It appears in the Nautilus display just fine, I can read and write, but only from the GUI,not from the terminal display. What am I missing? I mapped from the GUI so it seems I don't get to specify a mount point.

If a samba share is connected, you should be able to access it from Terminal simply by navigating to .gvfs/
in your home folder.
Run ls .gvfs/
to see what's in it.

Interesting. I just do
cd ".gvfs/mini on Inspiron/"
, and I am in the home folder on another machine. The following also works:smbclient //server/share -U username

/etc/samba/smb.conf
. There is a mount point in there ([share name] and path)mount|grep cifs
to see all the mounted shares and the destination on which they were mounted?
