10.3 Specifying Net Folders

After creating Net Folder Servers, you can create Net Folders for users to access.

Figure 10-4 Net Folder Creation

The minimum tasks required for adding a Net Folder are illustrated in Figure 10-4. Setting a synchronization schedule and specifying the data synchronization options are not specifically called out because they are summarized in Figure 10-3.

  • Specify the Net Folder Information

    • Name: Filr users with rights to the Net Folder see this name, so you should use a name that they will recognize and that will help them to understand what the Net Folder contains.

    • Net Folder Server: The Net Folder Servers you have created appear in a drop-down list. You also have the option to create an additional Net Folder Server from within the Net Folder creation dialog.

    • Relative Path: This is the path to the folder relative to the UNC path entered for the Net Folder Server. A blank path creates a Net Folder that points to the Net Folder Server’s UNC path.

    • Test Connection: This lets you verify that you have typed the path correctly.

  • Add Users and/or Groups

    • User or Group: As you type a user or group name, a list populates from which you can make your selection. When you click the name, the Access Rights dialog displays

  • Access and Sharing rights: After you enable access to the Net Folder for the user or group, you can specify sharing privileges as well.
