> # Adding Shares to a System in NetFile

> You can access shares on existing systems by adding the shares in NetFile.

> Next time you refresh the shares list, the hidden shares that you added are included in the list, unless they are no longer shared.

> Note | A share can be a well-defined share as in the case of Windows and NFS. It can also be a virtual share in the case of FTP, where you can add any folder as a share provided you specify the correct path.

> Note | To add a share under a system in NetFile, the share should exist on the system. For example, assume that you have added a system siroe under NetFile. You want to add a share called test under siroe. You can add test under siroe in NetFile only if test already exists as a shared folder in the remote system siroe.

> ### To Add Shares

> 1. Select the system to which you want to add a share.
> 2. Choose Add Share from the File menu.

> The Share Info dialog is displayed. For the first share that you add, the Sharename, Username, and Password need to be specified. By default, the Username field displays the Username with which you logged in to the Sun Java System Portal Server standard Desktop.

> 3. Click OK.

> The File Display pane displays the new share. If the new share does not appear on the list, choose Refresh from the View menu to refresh the display.

> ### Editing Share Information

> You can set or edit the password for Windows shares using the Share Info option.

> ### To Edit Share Information

> 1. Select the share for which you want to change the password.
> 2. Select Share Info from the Edit menu.

> The Edit share information dialog appears.

> 3. Type the required password in the Password field, and click OK.

> Note | For Windows machines, you need to explicitly set the password for each shared folder using the Edit Share Info dialog. If the share password is not set, and the share is accessed, the machine’s password is used to grant access.
