Hallo:

I can not give you proper advice right now, for I do not know which servent* you use. If you tell me that, I will give you a better answer ;). And maybe there is a misconception also: You do not choose to share files, so to say, you choose to share directories. So a shared file is a file within a shared directory :).

In the meantime I suggest you to:
1. read the documentation of your servent, if available *grin*
2. Look into the preferences of your servent. For example Gnucleus: [Edit] [Preferences] [Share]; Bearshare (hope I remember it right): [setup] [shared folders]; in other servents it should be roughly similar.

Hope this is at least a little bit helpful.
Greetings....



By the way: Servent means: SERVer and cliENT in one :-)
