  ====== Setting up File Sharing in X2GoClient ======
  <note>On some older Linux distributions, it was required that you add your users to the ''fuse'' group on your server. Newer distributions do away with this requirement. So if your server does **not** have a group called ''fuse'', you should not need to create (and populate) it. Only populate it with your users if it already exists, to avoid

+ 
+ ===== Session Setup =====
+ 
+ ==== First, let's create a New Session ====
  
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-1.png|}}
+ 
+ For this example, we'll be using MATE as Desktop Environment (see [[doc:de-compat|List of supported Desktop Environments]]).
+ Feel free to use any other of the supported DEs, or Published Application/Single Application mode.
+ 
+ ==== Adding Shared Folders ====
+ 
+ === Go to the "Shared Folders" tab and Click on the Folder Icon ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-2.png|}}
+ 
+ === Navigate to the Folder you Wish to Add ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-3.png|}}
+ 
+ For this example, we'll be using the ''Downloads'' folder of the Windows user account named ''WindowsUserAccount'', located at ''C:\Users\WindowsUserAccount\Downloads''.
+ Feel free to use any other folder that your local Windows user account has access to.
+ Click ''Select Folder'' to confirm your selection.
+ 
+ ===
Add the Selected Folder to the List of Available Shares ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-4.png|}}
+ 
+ If you've ever used PuTTY and its port forwarding feature, this step might already be familiar to you.
+ You need to add the folder you just selected to the list of available shares (the large, empty field that the red arrow points to).
+ Do this by clicking the ''Add'' button.
+ 
+ === Use Automount and Port Forwarding ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-5.png|}}
+ 
+ Make sure you've checked the ''Automount'' checkbox as well as the one that says ''Use SSH port forwarding...''. The latter should be enabled by default. 
+ 
+ === Optionally activate Filename Charset Translation ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-6.png|}}
+ 
+ Unless you're using the same charset on both the Windows client and the Linux server, you should check this box so filenames with special characters in them don't get mangled.
+ 
+ ===== Running the Session =====
+ === Navigate to your Home Directory ===
 
{{:doc:howto:filesharing-7.png|}}
+ 
+ Once you're connected, you should see a symlink ''media'' in your home directory. Follow that symlink.
+ 
+ === Locate your Shared Folders ==
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-8.png|}}
+ 
+ Inside the ''media'' folder are several sub-folders, one of them is named ''disk''. Navigate there.
+ Inside the ''disk'' folder, you will see every mounted shared folder, the name always starting with ''_cygdrive''. Note that folder names are abbreviated, so in our example, ''C:\Users\WindowsUserAccount\Downloads'' becomes ''_cygdrive_C_Users_WINDOW1_DOWNLO1''.
+ 
+ === Compare Folder Contents ===
  {{:doc:howto:filesharing-9.png|}}
+ 
+ You can now navigate to one of the shared folders and access it like it was a local folder. All changes will be replicated instantly.
