→Sharing Fedora Linux Folders
Once completed, the folder you specified will be visible from any Windows systems on the same network (and workgroup specified in the Server Settings page) as your Fedora Linux system. You should now have remote access to your Linux folder from the Windows system.
== Accessing Windows Shares From Fedora ==
As previously mentioned, Samba is a two way street, allowing not only Windows systems to access files and printers hosted on a Fedora system, but also allowing the Fedora system to access shared resources on Windows systems. To access any shared resources on a Windows system, begin by selecting the ''Places->Network'' desktop menu option. This will display the ''Network'' browser dialog including an icon for the Windows network (if one is detected) as illustrated in the following figure:

To obtain a list of Windows workgroups on the network, double click on the icon:

Similarly, double clicking on a workgroup will list the Windows system present on the workgroup and double clicking on a computer will list the shared resources available for access from the Fedora client:
