As you will see in the screenshot below, the Network Folder Wizard currently allows
|
|
you to add four types of network folders: WebDav, FTP,
|
|
<trademark class="registered">Microsoft</trademark>
|
|
<trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> (Samba) network drives and SSH.

Network folders show up in a special location of &konqueror; called a
|
|
<emphasis>virtual folder</emphasis>.
|
|
This virtual folder is accessed by typing <userinput>remote:/</userinput> in
|
|
&konqueror; <interface>Location bar</interface>. You will then be able to see
|
|
any folders which have been previously added and you also will be able to use
|
|
the wizard to add new ones.

Speaking of wizards, the Network Folder Wizard aims at being very easy to use.
|
|
After opening the wizard you must choose the type of network folder you would
|
|
like to access. When you move on to the next screen you will just need to
|
|
fill in the requested information. The final step is entering your username and
|
|
login password for the network share you've chosen to access.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Below is a list of the information needed by the wizard to create the network folders. If an option is not
|
|
available for a particular folder it does not have to be entered. e.g. The Samba
|
|
folders do not require a <guilabel>Port</guilabel> entry.

This is where you give a name to the network connection. It is limited only by

your imagination (or alphabet).

blink or you might miss it.

Below you see the main window of the Network Folder Wizard. It is here
|
|
that we choose what type of folder we want to add or connect to. For
|
|
the purposes of this walkthrough we will be using FTP. It contains most
|
|
of the options you will encounter while using the wizard.

OK, so we (as in me) have chosen to add an FTP folder. Below you see
|
|
an example of the type of information you will need to add for your particular
|
|
FTP server. After filling it in we press <guibutton>Save &
|
|
Connect</guibutton>
|
|
and wait for the magic. Oh yes, if your server requires validation of some kind
|
|
you will be prompted at this point before being allowed to connect.

You can even add new folders from the same location by using the
|
|
<guilabel>Add a Network Folder</guilabel> link. Well that brings us to
|
|
the end of our walkthrough (told you it would be quick). I wish you the
|
|
best of luck in your own network folder adventures ;-)
