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 Nodes and 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. Total Count displays the total number of entries (files and directories) in the current share.
The buttons perform the following functions:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Bookmark | Create a shortcut to the selected directory. If you do not select any directory, the bookmark is the node's root directory. |
| Download | Download the selected directory or directories using the IBM Aspera Connect Browser Plug-In. For more information, see Transferring Files. |
| Upload File | Upload a file from another machine to this share using the Connect. For more information, see Transferring Files. |
| Upload Folder | Upload a folder from another machine to this share using the Connect. Users do not need permission to create new folders to upload directories. |
| Delete | Delete the selected directory or directories. |
| New Folder | Create a new directory in the share. |
| Rename | Rename an existing directory in the share. |
| Create Share | Create a share for the selected directory. You must have admin or manager authorization to create a share. You can select only one directory at a time. Click Create Share to open the New Share dialog. The dialog is prepopulated with the node and directory information. To complete the other fields, see Creating a Share. |
