(1) Configuring file sharing

Enable sharing of the folder containing the log files to be monitored on the remote host. Add the desired user names in the remote communication settings in the host information file on the monitored host and grant read permissions to the users. Note that if you allow file sharing to too few users, when log file trapping starts, the upper limit for the number of users who are granted file sharing is exceeded and an error might occur.

1. In Windows Explorer, in the Address box, enter \\name-of-remotely-monitored-host.

   For name-of-remotely-monitored-host, enter the actual name you specified.

2. When the connection window appears, enter the user name and password for logging on to the remotely monitored host.

3. Check whether a NetBIOS connection is established with the host you want to monitor remotely.

4. In Windows Explorer, in the Address box, enter \\ name-of-remotely-monitored-host\path-for-folder-shared-in-(1).

   For name-of-remotely-monitored-host and path-for-folder-shared-in-(1), enter the actual host name and path you specified.
