Lan Surfer In Linux [resolved] GUI software to view others shared files

[klusk 0]

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: https://www.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.

SMB4k works.... I got what i wanted....i had to install KDE environment to run it....because it didn't work well in gnome environment...
