Adding Systems

To specify systems to access through Netfile, you must add them. The added systems appear in the Network Neighborhood pane, and you can carry out other regular file operations.

To Add a System

  1. Click on Network Neighborhood to enable the System menu.
  2. Alternatively, you can:

    • double-click on Network Neighborhood, or
    • right click on Network Neighborhood and choose Add Systems to launch the Add System dialog.
  3. Choose Add from the System menu.
  4. The Add System dialog is displayed.

  5. Type the system name (for example, webtop.sesta.com) in the System Name field.
  6. Select the System Type, or leave the default Auto Detect to let NetFile detect the system type.
  7. Your choices are AUTODETECT, FTP, WIN, NETWARE and NFS.

    The order of auto detect is WIN, NETWARE, FTP and NFS.

  8. Type the NT Domain Name if you are connecting to a Microsoft Windows system.
  9. Select the Encoding from the drop-down list.
  10. This field specifies the system encoding of the server that you are connecting to. You need to get this information from the administrator. The default value is set by the administrator.


    Note

    You may not be able to access the required system if the System encoding is specified incorrectly.


  11. Type the user ID in the User ID field.
  12. Type the password in the Password field.
  13. Click OK.
  14. The file display pane displays the new system. If the new directory does not appear on the list, double click the parent folder or share to refresh the display.
