How to programmatically identify a remote windows folder from Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
