\\severname\sharename
 * 1) Click OK.
 * 2) If you are prompted for a Username and Password, type in a valid name and password.

If the server is online, Windows Explorer will open the share folder. If not, you will receive the following error message:

If the server is offline, contact the system administrator for that file server to restore service.

Verify File Server Access
