> # Adding Systems in NetFile

> To access various systems using NetFile, you need to add them in NetFile. The added systems appear in the Network Neighborhood pane and you can carry out other regular file operations.

> ### To Add Systems

> 1. Choose Add System from the File menu. The Add System dialog is displayed.

> Note | The Add System option is enabled only if you have selected Network Neighborhood.

> 2. Type the system name (for example, webtop.sesta.com) in the System name field.
> 3. Type the User NT Domain name if you are connecting to a Microsoft Windows system. This field is optional.

> This field is enabled only if you choose the System Type as Windows.

> This field is not enabled if your administrator has disabled the option in the NetFile service.

> Note | If you specify an invalid domain name in this field while adding a system, an error message appears. If you are host information later, and specify an invalid domain name, an error message does not appear.

> 4. Select the System encoding from the drop-down list.

> This field specifies the system encoding of the server that you are connecting to. You can get this information from your administrator.

> System encoding is the encoding in which the host you are connecting to processes characters. For example, to connect to an FTP on Windows and display Japanese characters, you need to set encoding to Shift-JIS. For FTP on Solaris, it has to be euc_JP.

> Note | You will not be able to access the required system if the System encoding is specified incorrectly.

> 5. Select the System Type, or leave the default Auto Detect to let NetFile detect the system type.

> Your choices are AUTODETECT, FTP, WIN, NETWARE and NFS.

> The order of auto detect is WIN, NETWARE, FTP and NFS.

> 6. Click OK.

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