describes how to configure a shared folder.

Samba 2.2.8a or later is supported.

This section describes only the procedures for setting up a computer receiving data sent from the machine. To send data from the
machine to a server on the network, you must enter an address setting from the control panel. For instructions on how to specify recipient

The following procedures describe a sample shared folder configuration. Depending on your environment, the actual configuration
procedure may differ.
