Apple Duo 270C manual Creating a new folder on another computer, Changing your password

Working with files and folders on other computers

Once you are connected to a shared disk, you can use the files and folders on it as if they were on your own computer.

You may not be able to open some items on a shared disk if the owner has restricted access to those items. For information on how to check your access privileges, see “Working With Privileges That Others Have Set” later in this chapter.

Creating a new folder on another computer

You can create a new folder on a shared disk (as long as you have the correct access privileges). If you are a registered user, you become the owner of any folder that you create. If you are connected as a guest, you share ownership of the folder with all guests and registered users.

The icons of folders that you own on another disk have a darkened tab.

When you own a folder, you can determine who can use it and in what way. See “Using Access Privileges” later in this chapter for more information.

Changing your password

If you are a registered user, you may be able to change the password you use to connect to a shared disk. (Your network administrator can restrict this capability.)

1.Connect to the computer that has the shared disk you want.

2.Click the Set Password button.

Click here to change your password.

If a message tells you that you cannot change your password, your network administrator has turned off this feature.
