how to test samba configuration
 

I have two computers in 2 different rooms which are physically at
large distance but are on same lan.I am the only guy who has access to
both of these.
I created some samba shares on the server where I am right now
sitting physically.I do not want to walk and go to the other place
where the client machine is.
Can some how I be able to test if the client is able to get the samba
share which I shared?
What can be a good way for the same?

You could use desktop sharing to gain access the second machine's
desktop from yours.
Alternatively you can use ssh to get a command line interface and test
it that way.

What exactly is the command on command line to test from the client I
logged in via ssh.

You need to try to mount the share, not sure of the exact syntax.
Have a look at the docs for the mount command, or a quick bit of
googling will probably find it.
Google for
mount samba share command line
produced a number of good looking links including:
http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html

You might need both samba and smbfs installed. I can never remember
which you need at each end so generally install both at both ends.
