2.5 Accessing Network Shares

Other network devices, like workstations and servers, can be set up to share some or all of their resources. Typically, files and folders are marked to let remote users access them. These are called network shares. If your system is configured to access network shares, you can use the file manager to access these shares.

To access network shares, click the Network Browsing icon on the desktop. The window displays the network share types that you can access. Double-click a network type resource, then click the network share that you want to access. You might be required to authenticate to the resource by providing a username and resource.
