4.4.5 File Browser

Click File Browser to open the following screen. Use the file browsing screens to play, open, upload, and download files. A share is a set of user access permissions for a specific folder on a volume (gives someone access to a folder). It is equivalent to the Windows concept of a shared folder, but the access rights are independent of the folder (you configure the share and the folder separately). You can map a share to a network drive for easy and familiar file transfer for Windows users.

•A folder icon with a hand indicates a share.

•The administrator owns and manages the public shares.

•Double-click a media file to open it. Double-click other types of files to be able to save them.

•Click to the right of a file or folder name to select it.

•Use the [SHIFT] key to select a range of entries. Hold down the [CTRL] key to select multiple individual entries.

•Drag and drop files to open a screen that lets you choose whether to copy or move them.

•You can upload files of up to 2 GB in size.

•You can download individual files of up to 4 GB in size with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 and later or up to 2 GB in size with Internet Explorer 6.
