    Be sure to enter CAMPUS.TUE.NL when asked for the domain.

  3. Get the path at which this share is mounted by running the following command:

To browse the Windows file share, you can simply cd to the "local path" that you obtained in step 3 above.

Moving, copying, and removing files on the Windows file share can be done using standard Linux tools such as mv, cp, and rm.
