Ubuntu – Ubuntu Linux Filepath for Windows mounted drive

command linenautilus

I'm using ubuntu desktop. I mounted a windows drive using the "connect to a server" option. It now shows up in the "Network" list right above "Browse network". I'm trying to cd to this folder in the terminal and cannot seem to figure out what the correct file path is. When I go to the properties of the folder, it shows the location as "smb://engserver/engineering/". However if I cd
cd smb://engserver/engineering/ it says there is no such file or directory. How do I access this folder via cd?

Samba mounts via the Gnome desktop (Nautilus) are mounted per user in the directory

/home/user/.gvfs/

Just change user to your user name or use ~/.gvfs/ instead.

If you have the samba tools installed, you can mount that samba share in a more general (not per-user) fashion wherever you want (e. g. via /etc/fstab). Maybe that is more what you want?
