Massimo your comment is misleading. My suggestion was to use Net View for listing remote shares. Net Share will not list remote shares and so cannot be used for this. If you are looking at the local machine then yes, Net Share is a better option, but it is not available remotely.

Sam The question says nothing about remote servers, it asks for a way to "list all local directories shared on that server" and "the local directories they represent on disk".

And sure, it doesn't work remotely, but it wasn't asked to do so. Benoit Benoit 3, 1 1 gold badge 17 17 silver badges 17 17 bronze badges. Now you must go to the file browser.
