Network Paths and the Command Prompt

[Harry Muscle]

How do you specify network paths at the command prompt? For example, I mounted the following location using the graphical user interface:

\\Server\Media

How can I do a cd (change directory) to this path and explore what's on it via the command prompt? I've tried a whole bunch of things but every time I'm told that the directory doesn't exist.

Thanks for any help,
Harry

Have a look in ~/.gvfs. They should show up there.

Thanks. One more beginner question. How would I create a symbolic link to this network location? Should I point the symbolic link to the folders inside the .gvfs folder or is there another way of creating a symbolic link to network locations?

Thanks,
Harry

You can probably just:


ln -s "/home/your_username/.gvfs/place to link" ~/name_for_place
