find Windows shares from command line

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

How can I find Windows shares from command line,using the oSX terminal ? Meaning Microsoft net shares,not NFS.
I know how to do it from PC,but not from OSX.

Thanks

you want to look at the "samba" set of commands. Open a terminal, type "man samba" to start; and be sure to look at "findsmb".

Hi,

Did lookup findsmb,does not show shares,only computer info.
smbclient - tried with "smbclient -NL <servername>" syntax without success.Failed with "Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED".

I need to browse different Windows system using the computer name I get from the Perl script,no user/password are available.
However,broswing from OSX browser with smb:// syntax does browse the PC shares ...

What can be done ?
Thanks

Dude - read the man pages for Samba; it lists a variety of commands.

If findsmb doesn't do what you want, try smbtree. It browses the whole network rather than a single host, but you could parse the output.

The access denied error message means you were rejected by the destination system; not because the command was wrong. When I used smbclient -NL on a server I know of, I got a list of shares on the server.

Without knowing your exact network configuration I'm not sure why it didn't work for you - are you sure your machine isn't registered with the active directory - which would mean Finder already has Windows credentials?

Yes,it appears that our MIS have deployed the Active Directory long time ago.
