Browsing a Share
When you browse a share, all files and directories within that share are displayed.
Note: Shares excludes files that match the ._* pattern to hide MacOS extended
attributes on file systems without native support for those attributes. File systems without
native support prepend ._ to MacOS attribute names.
The search bar enables you to search for specific files or directories (for more information,
see Searching Shares). When you select a file or directory in
the share, you can click one of the buttons (for example, Bookmark) to act on the share.
Note: You can only see buttons for which you have authorization. If you believe
that your authorizations are incorrect, contact your system
administrator.
Total Count displays the total number of entries
(files and directories) in the current share.The buttons perform the following functions:
Button | Function |
