== Setting up Ubuntu Linux Folder Sharing ==
Once the appropriate NFS services are installed the next step is to select a folder to share. The ''Shared Folders'' dialog will appear as follows:

To share a folder click on the ''Add'' button to display the ''Share Folder'' dialog:
[[Image:ubuntu_shared_folders_add_nfs.jpg]]
Select a folder to share (either by selecting a home directory from the list or using the ''Other...'' option to browse the file system). Finally it is necessary to specify which hosts have access to the folder. To define this click on the ''Add'' button to display the allowed ''Add allowed hosts'' dialog:

Specify the allowed host either by entering the IP address or hostname. Alternatively, enter information to allow access from all systems on the network. Repeat the process to add additional hosts.
Once the settings are configured it may be necessary to restart the NFS services. To do this open a terminal window and enter the following command:
<pre>
sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
</pre>
Once the server restarts the shared folder may now be accessed from other Linux systems.
