PowerShell Get List Of Folders Shared

powershellpowershell-3.0shared-folders

I am trying to get a list of folders that are shared on a file share. At the moment I have two test folders:

\\MYPC\Test1

\\MYPC\Test2

This is the code I have at the moment:

$FileServer = Read-Host "Enter file server to search"
$FolderList = Get-ChildItem -Path $FileServer

Write-Host $FolderList

But this comes up with "cannot find the path". I can see examples of how to do this for \\Server\Share as the directory, but is it possible to just search the \\Server?

Try this:

get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share -computer dc1.krypted.com

Linux – where is the shared folder in linux inside Vmware Player

First you need to configure the shared folders in VMware Player, as you said you've done. Let's assume you named the shared folder Shared. Then, on the linux guest, add a line like the following to /etc/fstab:

.host:/Shared    /mnt/C    vmhgfs    user    0 0

This will make the host folder that you named Shared accessible as the directory /mnt/C on the linux guest.

You'll need to create the mount point on the guest manually:

sudo mkdir /mnt/C

Finally, restart the linux guest.
