+As you will see in the screenshot below, the Network Folder Wizard currently allows

+<trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> (Samba) network drives and SSH.

+Network folders show up in a special location of &konqueror; called a
+<emphasis>virtual folder</emphasis>.
+This virtual folder is accessed by typing <userinput>remote:/</userinput> in
+&konqueror; <interface>Location bar</interface>. You will then be able to see
+any folders which have been previously added and you also will be able to use
+the wizard to add new ones.

+Speaking of wizards, the Network Folder Wizard aims at being very easy to use.
+After opening the wizard you must choose the type of network folder you would
+like to access. When you move on to the next screen you will just need to
+fill in the requested information. The final step is entering your username and
+login password for the network share you've chosen to access.
+</para>
+<para>
+Below is a list of the information needed by the wizard to create the network folders. If an option is not
+available for a particular folder it does not have to be entered. e.g. The Samba
+folders do not require a <guilabel>Port</guilabel> entry.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Name:</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>

+This is where you give a name to the network connection. It is limited only by
+your imagination (or alphabet).
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>Server:</term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+This is the address of the server you are attempting to add. It can be an
+IP address or domain name.

+<term><guilabel>Port:</guilabel></term>

+Here you enter the port number you wish to connect to. The defaults are usually
+sufficient.

+This will be a quick walkthrough of the Network Folder Wizard. Don't
+blink or you might miss it.

+<para>
+Below you see the main window of the Network Folder Wizard. It is here
+that we choose what type of folder we want to add or connect to. For
+the purposes of this walkthrough we will be using FTP. It contains most
+of the options you will encounter while using the wizard.

+<para>
+OK, so we (as in me) have chosen to add an FTP folder. Below you see
+an example of the type of information you will need to add for your particular
+FTP server. After filling it in we press <guibutton>Save &amp;
+Connect</guibutton>
+and wait for the magic. Oh yes, if your server requires validation of some kind
+you will be prompted at this point before being allowed to connect.

+You can even add new folders from the same location by using the
+<guilabel>Add a Network Folder</guilabel> link. Well that brings us to
+the end of our walkthrough (told you it would be quick). I wish you the
+best of luck in your own network folder adventures ;-)
