Hint

You can display the shared folders using the following procedure.

1.After entering the computer name, user name, password, and domain/workgroup, click [Browse]. Access the computer containing the publicly shared folder. Sub-folders on computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 cannot be browsed by clicking the [Browse] button. In such cases, enter the computer name and path up until the top- most folder of that computer in [Folder path], and then click [Browse].

2.Specify any subfolder from the displayed computer and click [OK].

IMPORTANT

•If you click [Browse] without entering the user account information, only computers and workgroups within the same network address will display.

•When displaying workgroups that are not part of a domain, you cannot display computers or workgroups with different network addresses.

•Not all workgroups and computers in the network can be displayed immediately after the ScanFront is started. If some workgroups and computers are not displayed, wait a few minutes and then press [Browse].

•A new folder cannot be created in a specified folder via the Web Menu. If you want to create a new folder, use the computer set as the FTP server or the address editing functions of the ScanFront to create a folder beforehand.

User name/Password

Domain/Workgroup

If the computer containing the shared folder is part of a domain, enter the domain name.
