7.6 Accessing Network Shares<br />

Other network devices, like workstations and servers, can be set up to share some or<br />

all <strong>of</strong> their resources. Typically, files and folders are marked to let remote users access<br />

them. These are called network shares. If your system is configured to access network<br />

shares, you can use the file manager to access these shares.<br />

To access network shares, click the Computer button in any file manager window. The<br />

window displays the network share types that you can access. Double-click a network<br />

resource type then click the network share to access. You might be required to authenticate<br />

to the resource by providing a username and password.<br />
