You can reveal the drive available via smbutil view -A //$usr@$ip (or with password smbutil view -A //$usr:$pwd@$ip), you will need to run the command once to authenticate, and another time to reveal the available volumes:

SMBCLIENT

Preliminary Requirement

Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB networking protocol, and provides file and print services across multiple operating systems including Linux, Unix, and Windows. Smbclient is a command-line tool included in the Samba suite. It functions somewhat like an FTP client and allows users to connect to an SMB/CIFS (Common Internet File System) server.

Consequently we’ll install Samba first:

Usage

You can reveal the available volumes on the IP/Domain via command: smbclient -L //${ip} --grepable --user=${usr} --password=${pwd} --workgroup=WORKGROUP

    SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available

p.s. if you run into issue with the smbclient installed via brew on MacOS; You may try to resolve those via using the absolute path to the executable instead (use /opt/homebrew/bin/smbclient, instead of smbclient)

Mount/Unmount Network Drive (MacOS)

The following section only apply to mounting/unmounting SMB volumes in MacOS system (if you are using Windows system, you can use net use command, if you are using Linux system you can use cifs-utils)

To mount network drive:

1
2

osascript -e 'mount volume "smb://$ip/$volume"'
osascript -e 'mount volume "smb://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/home"'

To unmount network drive:

1
2

diskutil unmount "/Volumes/${props.vol}"
diskutil unmount "/Volumes/home"

or

1
2

/usr/sbin/diskutil unmount "/Volumes/${props.vol}"
/usr/sbin/diskutil unmount "/Volumes/home"
