 You can share files in two ways in [[aMule]]:
-The first method is to place the [[file]]s in the "Incoming" directory (''~/.aMule/Incoming'' on [http://www.unix.org Unix] like systems). After this has been done, you must either restart [[aMule]] or press the "Reload" button on the SharedFiles page.

 Hopefully this brief introduction has given you an idea of how [[aMule]] works. If you feel that something is missing from this guide, please let us know or add it yourself.

 aMule is also capable of connecting to the serverless network dubbed [[Kademlia]]. This allows aMule and other eDonkey2000 clients to function without having to rely on generous souls running servers. Both [[Kademlia]] and the server-based [[ED2k]] network are enabled by default, but you can disable either of the two networks on the lower part prefences page titled 'Connection'. Users with slow upload speeds should consider enabling only one of the two networks, due to the added overhead.

 Also, please note that on Linux, the ''.aMule'' directory is a hidden directory, so you might have to enable showing of hidden files in your file-mananger, should you use one such.
