Using NetFile

This section covers the following topics:

The NetFile Window

The main NetFile window includes two panes.

  1. The left pane contains the NetFile tree and is divided into two parts:
    • Network Neighborhood - displays remote systems you currently have access to.

      If your system administrator has set up a list of systems for you, these are displayed in the Network Neighborhood. If not, you can only see the Network Neighborhood icon, and you need to manually add systems as required.

    • Local Host - displays a list of root drives on your machine. For Unix, “/” is the share node and for Windows it is drives such as “C:” and “D:”. When you click on the drive, NetFile displays your current directories under that drive or directory.
  2. The pane on the right displays the files on a selected system and directory.
