Sharing files

Since the Windows information given in the previous mask is somewhat confusing, and since no references are made to the File Manager/Explorer, here is the correct procedure. Once file sharing has been activated and the PC restarted, you can re- lease files for processing by the other PC via the File Manager/ Explorer.

To do this, start up Windows Explorer

Select the appropriate folder and then click File1 > Properties. The following mask containing the tabs General and Sharing ap- pears:

Assign rights for the other PC users on your hard disk or set a password to prevent access.

Files that support sharing are identified as follows:
