Managing Systems and Shares with NetFile

The following options, available from the File menu in NetFile, enable you to manage the systems, and shares on those systems that you access through NetFile.

Add System - Add a system to the Network Neighborhood pane.

Remove System - Remove a system from the Network Neighborhood pane.

Edit Host Info - Edit system related information such as the system type or encoding.

Add Share - Add a shared resource or mount point.

Remove Share - Remove a shared resource or mount point.

Edit Share Info - Edit information related to a share such as the share password.



Note If you attempt to add a System or Share which is already in the Network Neighborhood pane, you will receive a warning. The System/Share will not be added twice.

You can use the Add Share option to connect to a hidden share on a Microsoft Windows computer.





Note Choose Exit Session from the File menu to save your system list for use in your next session.



To access a system, you must have a password and permission to access the directory you select.



Note NetFile lists only systems you have access to and that you, or your system administrator, has added. If the system you want to access does not appear in the Network Neighborhood pane, you need to add the system to your list.



Files and directories for the system you select are displayed in the file display pane. If you are accessing a shared resource, the information you need to provide depends on the type of resource you are accessing. When you double-click a Microsoft Windows system, NetFile retrieves the system-defined list of shares. When you double-click a system other than a Microsoft Windows system, NetFile displays the same dialog as the Add a Share dialog.



Note Choose Edit Host Info from the System menu to manually specify the system type or edit other system information.



Access your directories and files by selecting the required directory or file in the Network Neighborhood pane. Files for the last directory you selected appear in the file display pane.
