I’ve found a very nice how to browse a network using fusesmb. Because I use Xubuntu there is no Nautilus to handle all the work.

Fusesmb mounts all network shares in your workgroup in a predefined are (kind of like osX does). Thunar is able to show a tree structure. It’s also possible to use other viewers to list the tree structure.

Website fusesmb quote:“With SMB for Fuse you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as were it on your own filesystem. It’s basically smbmount with a twist. Instead of mounting one Samba share at a time, you mount all workgroups, hosts and shares at once. Only when you’re accessing a share a connection is made to the remote computer.”

Tip, extra parameter for fusesmb: ’sudo fusesmb /media/network -o allow_other -o allow_root’.
