Using File Shares
File shares provide remote users with a secure Java applet or HTML-based interface to
Microsoft File Shares using the CIFS (Common Internet File System) or SMB (Server Message
Block) protocols. Using a Web interface similar in style to Microsoft’s familiar Network
Neighborhood or My Network Places, File Shares allow users with appropriate permissions to
browse network shares, rename, delete, retrieve, and upload files, and to create bookmarks for
later recall.

and-drop and multiple file selection capabilities. It also provides the user the ability to set up
bookmarks to quickly navigate through networks from the portal level. This feature saves time
lost moving through network and server paths. The File Shares Applet leverages Sun’s Java
platform browser plug-in to increase usability by mimicking the common Windows Explorer
interface. With the help of the HTTPS protocol, the applet securely transfers encrypted files and
information to and from the SSL-VPN appliance. The appliance communicates this data to the
individual machines on the remote network.
