> # Understanding Shared Resources

> ### Microsoft Windows Shared Resources

> In a Microsoft Windows system, you can specify which resources you want to share with other people on the network. The share list shows the share names of all the shared resources for the system you are accessing. To share a resource with other people on the network, assign a share name to that resource.

> Note | When viewing a share list on a Windows NT system, you need to enter a valid password in the password field if domain restrictions are in place. Otherwise the share list will be blank.

> For more information about Microsoft Windows resource sharing, see your Microsoft Windows documentation.

> ### FTP Shared Resources

> For FTP, NetFile shows the starting directory or path. All FTP file accesses start from a base path (for example, the home directory on the FTP server such as /export/home/test). Any share should have path relative to that home directory. You see the expanded list of files and subdirectories under the starting directory or path.

> ### NFS Shared Resources

> For NFS, NetFile shows the mount point. Your system administrator defines the mount point and provides you with the information you need to access NFS shared resources.
