File Sharing With Windows Vista - Mvix Ultio Pro User Manual

File Sharing Configurations (With Windows Vista)
File sharing involves making the media content of one or more files / folders (on your PC) available through
the network. By "enabling" this file sharing, you can view these files / folders (on your PC) to be accessed /
viewed on your Mvix Ultio Pro (on the same network).
Caution: File sharing may lead to security problems since, by definition, it gives other users access to the
content of a part of the hard drive. As a result, it is essential that you share only folders for which it would not
be extremely important if their content were revealed (or destroyed), Furthermore, you are strongly advised
against sharing a whole partition of your hard drive. This operation is specifically discouraged if you do not
trust the other network users!
