5.3 Accessing Network Shares
Networking workstations can be set up to share folders. Typically, files and folders are
marked to allow users remote access. 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.
Your level of access to the shared folders (whether read-only or write access, as well)
is dependent on the permissions granted to you by the owner of the shares.
To access network shares, open Nautilus and click Network from the Places pane.
Nautilus displays the servers and networks that you can access. Double-click on a
server or network to access its shares. You might be required to authenticate to the
server by providing a username and password. Common network shares are SFTP ac-
cessible resources (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or Windows shares.
