Hello:
From the command line, the above command is only able to display
the folders that are share, but unable to view the content of the shared
folder
using the same command.

My question is, which command do I use that have the same effect as 'dir'
but on a network folder.

Thank You in advance and have a good day.

Map a network drive to the desired share. Then, use the 'dir' command
on the drive letter. For example:

net use z: \\server\share
dir z:
