How do you access shared folders in ubuntu?

Answer 1

The operations that users can carry out depend on the level of permissions they have been granted. There are several ways of opening shares on another computer:

• My Network Places
• Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
• Mapped network drive

To Connect to a Shared Folder with My Network Places

1. On the desktop, double-click My Network Places.
2. Double-click Entire Network.
3. Double-click Microsoft Windows Network, and then double-click your domain.
4. Double-click the computer with shared files that you want to access. Windows 2000 displays all of the shared folders and printers on the computer.
5. Double-click the appropriate shared folder.
6. If your user account has permission to access this share, you can see all of the folders and files in the shared folder. The level of permissions you have been granted determine what you can do with those folders and files.

To Connect to a Shared Folder with the UNC Format

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type the share name by using the UNC format (\\servername\sharename), and then click OK. Windows 2000 displays all of the shared folders and printers on that computer.
3. Double-click the shared folder to access the shared files.

To Connect to a Shared Folder with a Mapped Network Drive

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.
3. In the Drive box, click the drive letter to map to the shared resource.
4. In the Folder box, type the server and share name of the resource, in the form of \\servername\sharename. Or, click Browse to locate the resource.
