Re^3: File::Find Shared Folder Traversal

Please define "shared folders": Windows shares (via Samba?)? NFS? Other?

If Windows shares via Samba or some equivalent, see Win32::NetResource. You might also need Net::DNS to get the names from the IP addresses.

If NFS, shares that are already mounted? If so check /etc/fstab.

If NFS and looking for shares that are not mounted, Net::SSH2 into the sharing box and check /etc/exports or equivalent.

The shard folders are on a Linux machine(Mandriva) and I am on Windows. The folders are accessed using the Samba Server.	[reply]

On Windows you can use the NET command to get information about the CIFS services running locally or in remote hosts. Once you now the name of the shares, you can browse then in the same way as local file system as long as you use the `\\hostname\share\path\to\file` naming convention. For instance, File::Find should work over CIFS shares (btw, there are better modules than this one).	[reply] [d/l]

Which are the those better modules ? Is there any module which takes ipaddress as input and then browse through the shared folders ?	[reply]
