Understanding Shared Resources

Shared resources are available to you through the Common Hosts specified by your administrator in the NetFile service.

Microsoft Windows Shared Resources

In a Microsoft Windows system, you can specify which resources you want to share with other people on the network. The share list shows the share names of all the shared resources for the system you are accessing. To share a resource with other people on the network, assign a share name to that resource.


Note

When viewing a share list on a Windows NT system, you need to enter a valid password in the password field if domain restrictions are in place. Otherwise the share list will be blank.


For more information about Microsoft Windows resource sharing, see your Microsoft Windows documentation.

FTP Shared Resources

For FTP, NetFile shows the starting directory/path. All FTP file accesses start from a base path (for example, a home directory such as /export/home/test). You see the expanded list of files and subdirectories under the starting directory/path.

NFS Shared Resources

For NFS, NetFile shows the mount point. Your system administrator defines the mount point and provides you with the information you need to access NFS shared resources.
