Your HDA shares files as on your local network. Access to the shared files is through the share <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code>.

Note that you have to input <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code> in the file browser or other places where files are requested, not in the Internet browser. This is what what you should see when using the default settings and there are two users in the system:

= Default Shares (Shared Folders) =

By default your HDA comes with the following shares preinstalled: pictures, music, movies, files and books, in addition to one share per user "home directory" and a printers and faxes directory. To add more shares, go to the setup area in your HDA.

= Managing User Permissions and Shares =

User and share administration is performed for the time being directly through the Samba Server Configuration panel.(In the future this functionality will be controlled through the setup area in your HDA.)

To get there, you have to be at the desktop of your HDA (either directly or through [[VNC]]), and go to System -> Administration -> Samba. Note that is : it may be under System -> Administration -> Server Settings -> Samba, if you have more server services installed.
