3. Accessing and Managing
Files
The LaCie Network Space has two permanent shares (similar to
folders) – a password-protected share called "myshare" and a
public one called "openshare" that anyone connected to the net-
work can access. You can also connect an external hard drive to
use as a backup for your LaCie Network Space or as additional
storage. External drives appear as separate shares and are ac-
cessible by anyone on the network.
Use LaCie Ethernet Agent to access your shared folders for the
first time.

3.1. Accessing Shared Folders

When your computer is connected to your local area network,
LaCie Ethernet Agent will help you quickly connect to the shared
folders ("myshare" and "openshare") on your LaCie Network
Space and, if you like, make those folders immediately available
every time to you log on to your computer.
To access shared folders:
1. Open LaCie Ethernet Agent (LEA). Click on the LEA icon in
the system tray (Windows users) or menu bar (Mac users).
2. Select Connect Manually from the LEA menu. The list of
shares will open in a Windows Explorer or Mac Finder win-
dow.
TeChNICAl NOTe: You may need to enter the username
and password for "myshare." The defaults are:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Your system may remember this information and might not ask
for it during the same session. No password is required for
"openshare."
See section 4.2.6. Edit Accounts
the User account information.
3. Simply drag and drop files to and from this window, just like
a regular folder.
