I am new to Ubuntu(and Linux for that matter) and I am trying to access files using the terminal. The network folder is on my Desktop, but when I go to the Desktop folder via the terminal, the network folder is not there.
How do I access files on a network folder via the terminal?

First go to:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/
cd /run/user/1000/gvfs/
In this directory you will find the name and access of the server you connected to. Enter this cd "name of your server"
Now you connected the server from terminal, but before that you need to enter it from the gui
The other way is to use; sshfs

Network locations mounted under GNOME via the GUI are mounted under ~/.gvfs.

2under /run/user/$UID/gvfs for me on Ubuntu 17.04 – Janus Troelsen – 2017-06-08T17:13:11.167
@JanusTroelsen /run/user/$UID/gvfs also works on ubuntu 14 – Alejandro Quiroz – 2017-11-20T23:40:13.837
1Is this still true? I can't confirm this is working on Ubuntu Maverick. I have 2 network folders (1 smb, 1 ftp) mounted via nautilus and they do not appear in ~/.gvfs. – kynan – 2011-09-13T08:41:40.847
this is true for me under Ubuntu 12.04 Precise – Rian Sanderson – 2012-08-17T21:57:16.107

First, sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Next, sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows/share-name && sudo mount -t cifs //machine-name/share-name /mnt/windows/share-name -o username=your-username,domain=your-domain
It will then prompt you for a password.
If the machine is not domain joined, just use the machine name in place of the domain.
This worked for me just now.

For Ubuntu 14.04, Ignacio's answer doesn't work. In fact is at other location, as told here.

Use smbmount. It mounts a network location to a directory.

Just open required network location in Nautilus, and its address is shown in the Nautilus Location box.

The address displayed by nautilus is usually something like "smb://server/share" which doesn't work on the command line – Brian – 2010-05-04T17:54:25.137

A good way to go is to use find command and search for files on the network location. Found it under: /home/user/.gvfs.
