However, note that access to a file share is different for FAT32, NTFS, and EXT2/3 formatted
partitions. FAT32 has no restrictions—any user can access any share for both reading and writing.
In addition, shares defined on EXT2/3 partitions are only readable to non-administrator users (even
with writing permissions), with the following exceptions:
• The user will be able to write to the share’s root directory (e.g. A\ , my_share\ ).
• The user will be able to write to the directory that had been created for that user.
Moreover, to create new directories that will be writable for users, you must be logged in as a user,
not an administrator. Any directories created by an administrator will only be writable to the
administrator.
To access the new share, you must be logged in with a user associated with share (in this example,
user ‘home’). Perform the following:
1. Click the share’s link under the ‘Name’ column in the ‘File Server Shares’ section (see
Figure 5.140).
Note: If the share is not available, for example if the disk has been removed, the link will
not be clickable and appear as plain text.
A Windows login dialog box appears.

2. Enter your WBM username and password to login. The share opens in a new window.
