1.6.2 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 Nautilus file manager to access them.
To access network shares, double-click your Home directory icon on the desktop, then
click Network Servers in the left pane. The window displays the network shares that
you can access. Double-click the network resource that you want to access. You might
be required to authenticate to the resource by providing a username and password.
