Windows local path of share: D:\SomeFolder\Share.
Windows Share path for above folder: \\ServerName\Share.
Windows remote local path : \\ServerName\d$\SomeFolder\Share

Unix local path: /mnt/disk1/share.
Unix share path: smb://servername/share.
Unix remote local path: ??

Is there any alternative similar to \\ServerName\d$ in unix?
Also can we access unix's remote local path, if any, from windows machine?

Consider both windows and unix machines are in the same network.

\\server\d$ is a share just like \\server\share, the difference is that Windows automatically created it. Share names ending with $ are hidden in most places in Windows.

These drive shares can be turned off with the AutoShareWks/AutoShareServer registry values or Group Policy.

IPC$ is the only really special share and is used internally by SMB.

  • Thanks for your info. Is there any hidden shares in unix systems? Or anything similar to AutoShareWks/AutoShareServer registry values in unix to turn ihidden shares on/off? – saran Mar 10 '22 at 08:10
  • @saran, no, in Linux there are no hidden shares – Romeo Ninov Mar 10 '22 at 14:40

You can have /net directory. Assuming you have rights to see particular NFS share you can reach it on this way:

ls /net/<server>/<path>

where <server> is the hostname or IP of server which share
<path> is the path of shared directory on above server
