When a directory is [[share]]d through [[aMule]], all of its contents ([[file]]s in it) are available for other [[eD2k]]/[[kademlia]] [[client]]s to download them from you.

To [[share]] a directory in [[aMule]], go to '''Preferences''' -> '''Directories''' and check the box by the directory you wish to [[share]].

By default, [[share|sharing]] a directory does not [[share]] it's subdirectories (the directories inside that directory. In other words, child directories). If you want to [[share]] a directory recursively (that is, the [[file]]s in a directory and all of its subdirectories), '''dobule-click''' on the folder icon by the directory name.

<font color="red">'''ATTENTION:'''</font> Be '''very careful''' what directories you [[share]] or you could eventually make available to unknown [[client]]s/people your sensible data by mistake (passwords, addressbook, private stuff, etc).

		+	You can manually add directories to be shared as well. In the configuration directory (~/.aMule), you'll find the file <code>shareddir.dat</code>. Add each shared directory as a new line to that file. Make sure that you stop the aMule process before you add your directories or your changes will be overwritten at the next startup of aMule. Typical command line sequence (Debian):
		+
		+	<code>bas@barbara:/home/amule/.aMule$ sudo /etc/init.d/amule-daemon stop</code>
		+	<br /><i>Stopping aMuleWeb : amuleweb.</i>
		+	<br /><code>bas@barbara:/home/amule/.aMule$ sudo vi shareddir.dat</code>
		+	<br /><code>bas@barbara:/home/amule/.aMule$ sudo /etc/init.d/amule-daemon start</code>
