Lan Surfer In Linux [resolved] - GUI software to view other's shared files

klusk
I have been using LAN surfer and Network scanner in Windows,
These software's are used to scan the LAN over a given range of IP addresses and then display the folders shared by each computer available on LAN in the specified range...
now i have switched to Linux...
Can you tell me any GUI software which would do this task in Linux ubuntu 7.04.
I tried nmap but i did not find it that useful...i think it does only port scanning and stuff but does not display the files shared...
but i am not sure..tell me if it can be used and how...

I also installed smbclient, but i didn't try it as it was not GUI...
Please tell me any GUI softwares which would do it.........

You can look into the following and choose which one suits you best: http://us3.samba.org/samba/GUI/

There may be a way to integrate Samba into Nautilus if not already integrated, but i'm not that experienced with GNOME.

    I hate to have to ask, but why is Windows Explorer being dumb? Just the other night I copied 12GB
    worth of video files from my brother (Futurama episodes). It happened to be my last 12GB, leaving my
    500GB external hard drive with less than 300MB of free space. I turned the hard drive off, packed
    up, and left for home. Booting up the same hard drive to search for its contents, I was surprised
    to have about 13GB of free disk space left on the hard drive. I figured that maybe my brother
    actually said that he was going to copy those episodes but forgot to, so I did my usua....
  3. Adept Updater With Lan Sources
    Can I specify a software package source on my own LAN? (2)
    I really like the software distribution model that GNU/Linux uses. The whole idea of a universal
    updater for all software, whether it be the operating system itself or the applications, can all be
    centrally administered and updated through programs like Adept Updater . Adept just checks
    automatically for new updates for all software that you have installed and lets you know if a
    particular program has an update. You can then choose to apply the selected updates and it will
    download and install the updates for you. Brilliant! But here is my question. If I have a lot of ....

    Linux on a Mac (1)
    Why are there no good distributions of Linux for Macs? I have a MacBook with Mac OSX Tiger, Windows
    XP, Windows Vista, and OpenSuSE 11.0 on it. I wrote a post here on how to accomplish this.
    However, OpenSuSE works horribly on Mac. Is it completely Mac's proprietary fault, or is it
    just that most Linux users in their right minds would never pay for a Mac when they could build a
    Linux-friendly machine for pennies in comparison? I use a Mac for many reasons. First of all, I
    love it. Secondly, I have a website that I like to check with a variety of environments. ....

  13. If Mac Osx Is Best With Hardware, Where Does Linux Lie?

    Here's a good question: Is Linux better at utilizing hardware efficiently to produce optimal

    processors and yada yada, but I don't know if this is true or if a bunch of Mac elitists said a
    bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
    there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
    distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
  14. What Made You Switch To Linux?
    (48)
    I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
    that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
