To Share Folders and Drives

1. If necessary, start NFS Server.

   Note that you can export folders and local drives without NFS Server running. However, the exported shares will not become available until you start NFS Server.

2. Start Explorer or My Computer.

3. In My Computer or in the Explorer folders pane, select the device or the folder that contains the files you want to share.

4. Right-click to open the pop-up menu and then click Properties.

   The property sheet for the selected device or folder opens.

5. Click the NFS Sharing tab.

6. Click the Shared As option.

   The name of the selected device or folder appears in the Share Name field. Optionally, replace the name with a name that is meaningful to users when they browse the PC as an NFS Server.

7. Specify the type of access.

   • Read-Only: Users of remote systems can display the contents of the shared folder or drive, or execute any executable therein. They cannot modify or delete any files or folders in the shared folder or drive.

   • Full: Users of remote systems can read, write, execute, and delete the shared folder or drive. These permissions are subject to restrictions that may apply on a folder or file-by-file basis on an NTFS file system.

8. Specify which access restrictions apply.

   • Click Unrestricted if you want to allow all network systems to access the shared folder or device with the type of access specified in Step 7.

   • Click Restricted and then click Access Restrictions. The Access List dialog box opens.

9. Complete the Access List dialog box as follows.

   1. Enter the name of the system whose users may access the shared folder or device, or select from the list of systems.

   2. Click Add.

      The system name appears in the Clients Granted Access field.

   3. Click OK.

      The Access List dialog box closes.

10. Click OK.

    The property sheet closes.
