Windows Workstation Server – Checking the Public and Whole shares
The Scomis workstation server shares files across the network using a standard share arrangement.
Servers will typically have a WHOLE and PUBLIC folder available for network users to connect to. These are accessed by remote computers using a UNC path such as \\<servername>\PUBLIC
The easiest method to check which folders are shared from the computer is to use Computer Manager.
- Click Start
- Right Click “Computer”, Choose Manage (may be prompted for UAC)
- Expand “Shared Folders”
- Click on Shares
- Look for WHOLE or PUBLIC shares
