Configuring Bookmarks from Within the File Shares Applet
Navigating a remote computer’s directory hierarchy structure takes a long time. To reduce this
process as much as possible, the SonicWALL SSL VPN File Shares Applet allows the user to
create bookmarks on the fly from within the File Shares Applet itself. This allows the user to
skip the hierarchy structure of the remote computer the next time she needs to access a
particular file or folder.
Step 1 Launch the File Shares Applet by clicking on the File Shares button in the Virtual Office portal.
The File Shares Applet displays.
Step 2 The File Shares Applet’s default location for the local window is the base directory, while the
remote window shows the entire network. Double click on the appropriate folders to navigate
the local window to the desktop or another appropriate folder.
Step 3 To navigate the remote window, double click on a visible computer, or input the name in the
address bar preceded by \\ and followed by a \ and press Enter. The File Shares Applet will
then navigate to the requested computer. It may take several seconds for the resources to load,
depending on the network configuration.
