Editing Host Information

You can change information specified for a host (for example, to change from a Microsoft Windows-type share to an FTP-type share on a UNIX system running both Samba and FTP servers) using the Edit Host Info... option.


Note

Changing the system type in the Edit Host Information dialog removes all shares assigned for that system.


If you specify a Windows domain name, you need to specify the username and password for that domain. If you need to use the username and password for your machine, remove the domain from the User NT Domain name field.

The Sun Java System Portal Server standard Desktop user name is used by default, if you do not change the user name.

The username field is not enabled if your administrator has disabled the option in the NetFile service.

To Edit Host Information

  1. Click the name of the system you want to edit.
  2. Choose Host Info from the Edit menu.
  3. The Edit Host Info dialog is displayed.

  4. Make the required changes and click OK.
  5. See Adding Systems in NetFile for details on the fields in this dialog.

    A confirmation dialog appears informing you that all shares will be removed, if you have changed the system type.


    Note

    These changes are valid only for the current session. If you log out and login again, the new values are not retained.


  6. Click OK to confirm. Click Cancel if you do not want the shares to be removed.
