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. Note that on the Linux side, you will always see file extensions (like ''.bmp'' in our example) as well as files that may be present, but hidden from you due to system settings on the Windows side. This behavior can be changed on the
Windows side and is not specific to X2Go. Default behavior of Windows is to hide known file extensions as well as entire files with file system attributes ''hidden'' and/or ''system''.

+ ===== Manually mounting Shared Folders on Demand =====
+ If you've decided against using the Automount feature, you will need to mount the Shared Folder(s) manually before you can use them.
+
+ How you mount them manually depends on what checkboxes you checked under
+ Options/Settings/General in X2GoClient.
+
+ If you set X2GoClient to minimize into the system tray, then you right-click that icon, select the session name, then ''Share folder ...''.
+
+ If, instead, you have the X2GoClient window on your screen even with an active connection, click on the small folder icon, that's the left of the three icons ''Folder'', ''Pause'', ''Power''.
+
+ From there, the steps are the same again for both variants.
+
+ Click the name of the share in the window that has opened now
+
+ Click the
''share'' button.

Edit Summary: [Setting up File Sharing in X2GoClient] - note regarding bug in 4.0.5.2

====== 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
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming|Cargo Cult Programming]].</note>
The following screenshots were made using [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.0.5.1-2016… for Windows 4.0.5.1-2016.08.18]]. The design of the session tabs may vary slightly in later versions, however, the principle stays the same.
+
+ <note important>**Attention:** There is a bug in X2GoClient 4.0.5.2 that causes Folder Sharing to fail in some, if not all use cases. If you require this feature, please remain on X2GoClient 4.0.5.1 until 4.1.0.0 is released.</note>

+
+ ===== 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 ==

+
+ Inside the ''media'' folder are several sub-folders, one of them is named ''disk''. Navigate there.
