4.2 Accessing Network Shares
Networking workstations can be set up to share folders. 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 your file manager to access these shares and
browse them just as easily as if they were located on your local machine.
Whether you have only read access or also write access to the shared
folders depends on the permissions granted to you by the owner of the
shares.
To access network shares, click the
icon on your desktop or open Konqueror and enter remote:/
in the location bar. Konqueror then opens a virtual folder that displays the
network share types that you can access. Click a network resource type
then click the network share to access. You might be required
to authenticate to the resource by providing a username and
password.
