Once you have determined which drives or directories to share with other
users, you now need a method to access these shared files from remote
computers. The Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool includes a feature
called Remote Drive Sharing that provides a computer with access to shared
files over the network. This feature is described below.
Remote Drive Sharing
From within the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool, you can assign a
remote drive a drive letter on the local computer. For example, the C: drive
of a remote computer may be assigned to the I: drive of the local computer.
Once this remote drive share has been established, the remote drive will
appear to be another drive in the local computer’s My Computer icon, as
shown in the following screen shot:
This process is also called “mapping” a network drive. A mapped network
drive automatically reestablishes the connection each time the computer is
restarted. You can establish drive letters for not only remote shared drives,
but also for remote shared directories.
To create a remote drive share, follow these steps:
1.
Open the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool and refer to the
Symphony Network Map, shown in the following example.
