The top left section contains your own computer, as well as any other computers
in your home network and that are also running EasyShare. If a newly added PC
does not appear here, press F5 or use File
̈ Refresh to update the list.
The program generally finds additional computers running EasyShare automat-
ically and very quickly. In doing so, it scans the entire so-called subnet, which
normally consists of 255 different IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2,
etc. up to 192.168.0.255).
Normally, EasyShare uses the name of your PC. You can also use Tools ̈
Options to specify a different designation under which your computer will
appear in the EasyShare network. The application's sounds can also be enabled
and disabled there. If folders have ready been shared on the various found Easy-
Share computers, their names can be displayed by clicking on the plus line to
the left of the computer name. Click a folder to display its contents in the top
right-hand section of the EasyShare window. Two options are available for
transferring files to your own computer:
b
Double-click the file name with the left mouse button. EasyShare will open
a small dialog box prompting you for the target folder on your computer.
b Alternatively, right-click to open a context menu that also contains the last
destination used, such as the desktop of the current Windows user.
The current transfers appear in the lower right-hand section of the EasyShare
window. In addition to the file name, the progress in percent, the transfer rate
in Kbps and the name of the source computer are displayed.
To share folders on your own computer, click the name of your own computer
and use the File
̈
Add share menu. A short wizard will help you enter the
exact path or browse to the correct folder. Once you have specified a share
name, the folder and its files and subfolders will be available to all other Easy-
Share users. Shares can also be deleted in the File Sharing menu, while File
̈
Share properties lets you configure your shares.
Be careful when sharing large folders or whole hard drives! Their contents
(including all subfolders) will be available to any user of your home network who
also uses EasyShare. Unlike Windows shares, however, they are only available
whenever EasyShare is running.
All current EasyShare users can chat in the lower left-hand section. Simply enter
your text in the input field under the chat section and press Send. Your message
will immediately appear in the chat section of other users' EasyShare windows.
