List of all shared folders

Question

Is there possible to list all shared folders (with their physical locations) from command line?

Answer 1

go to list folder

/var/lib/samba/usershares

check the path

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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
  

See also: Manpage of samba

Answer 5

If you browse your own machine in the Network section of Nautilus, you should see all the shares.

Answer 6

Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and run the following command:

smbtree

Answer 7

At least two ways to do this:

1. mount

$ mount
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=1959288k,nr_inodes=489822,mode=755)
...
# etc, etc

With no options, mount will list all mounted file systems. Two options are available:

• -l : includes labels
• -t <type> : filters the output by filesystem <type>; e.g. cifs`

See man mount for details. An example from my system:

$ mount -l -t cifs
//NetgearNAS-3/backup on /mnt/NetgearNAS/backup type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=1.0,cache=strict,username=seamus,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.246,soft,unix,posixpaths,serverino,mapposix,acl,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)
//SynologyNAS-1/backups on /mnt/SynologyNAS/backups type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=seamus,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.102,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1,user=seamus)

2. findmnt

From man findmnt:

findmnt will list all mounted filesystems or search for a filesystem. The findmnt command is able to search in /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab or /proc/self/mountinfo. If device or mountpoint is not given, all filesystems are shown.

With no options, findmnt provides a neat listing of all mounted filesystems in tree format:

$ findmnt
TARGET                                SOURCE                 FSTYPE     OPTIONS
/                                     /dev/sda1              ext4       rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro
├─/sys                                sysfs                  sysfs      rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime
│ ├─/sys/kernel/security              securityfs             securityfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime
│ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup                    tmpfs                  tmpfs      ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755

...

# etc, etc

findmnt has an extensive set of filtering and formatting options, making it well-suited for use in scripts where the output must be parsed - see man findmnt for details. In this case, if we wish to restrict the output to shares (as in the smb/cifs/nfs sense), the -t option is handy:

$ findmnt -t cifs,nfs4
TARGET                     SOURCE                           FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt/SynologyNAS/rpi_share SynologyNAS-1:/volume1/rpi_share nfs4   rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,se
/mnt/NetgearNAS-3/backup   //NetgearNAS-3/backup            cifs   rw,relatime,vers=1.0,cache=strict,username=seamus,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.16
/mnt/SynologyNAS/backups   //SynologyNAS-1/backups          cifs   rw,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=seamus,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.
