An additional public folder is provided on the server.
Anyone can create, modify, or delete files in this folder.
When your client computer is configured for access to the
network, the setup wizard automatically creates your
account’s private folder as a special mapped disk drive. It also
maps the second hard disk drive to the public folder on the
Magnia SG30. These drives look just like the C: drive on
your computer, but have a different letter.
You can access these drives from your computer using My
Computer, Windows Explorer or by browsing any file
selection dialog in an application.
If your computer has not been set up using the Magnia SG30
"Client Setup- and Documentation CD", you can still access
the files on the Magnia SG30 using Network Neighborhood
(or My Network Places). By browsing using this utility, you
can see the Magnia SG30 (named “Myserver” as the default
name).
Double-click the Myserver icon to show the folders available
for access, including your private folder and the public folder.
Storing files on the server
Storing files on the server is easy. Simply copy files from the
folder in your local client computer to the Magnia SG30. You
can also access these files directly with applications such as
word processors, spreadsheets, database applications, and
other programs, by simply specifying that the files reside on
the private or public drive.
To gain access to the files on the Magnia SG30, you must be
logged in to your local client computer, and your login
account must match the account established on the
Magnia SG30. If you used the setup wizard, these accounts
were established automatically. However, if you have
multiple user accounts on your client computer, the account
you use when you log in determines which files you see on
the Magnia SG30.
