There is an easy way to list any shared folders available on the remote samba server using smbclient command. By executing this command, we can get a detailed information about the shared folder on the Samba server. For example:
smbclient -L 192.168.2.102
The command above will retrieve information about the shared folders available on the server with IP address 192.168.2.102. And it will returned something like this
dhani@dhani-tahr:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.2.102
Enter dhani’s password:
