Creating/Editing New/Old accounts:

3. Click the "Add" button to add the account. You can add multiple accounts. Click on "Close" when you are done. Next time when you open "Manage Accounts" you will see "Save" button allowing you to edit the account. Click on "Clear" to add a new account.

5. To make a file/folder public, give "Read" permissions to "Everyone"(user) for that file/folder. This is quite useful if you wish to provide "hot linking".
