When you launch Weezo for the first time, you are required to choose a password for the "administrator" account.

You will remotely access your computer with this account. It is well advised to enter a fairly complex password so that nobody can guess it.

Weezo then displays the sign-in page for its localization service.

This service allows you and your family and friends to easily access your computer without the need to know its IP address. This service is optional. If your computer has got a fixed IP address or if you use a dynamic DNS service, you can choose the &quotDo not sign-in;" option. Just keep in mind that an IP address is not as friendly to the less seasoned users among us as a more classic looking web address... Moreover Contact management (please see below) is only available for registered users.

You must choose a Weezo account name. Your family and friends and yourself will access your computer using this name.

 To access your Weezo personal site, you just have to type the following address in your web browser :

In addition with this account name, your must provide a valid e-mail address and a password associated with the account. The e-mail address will be used in case you forget or lose your password.

When launched, Weezo displays the start page.

The rightmost section of the window allows you to control your personal server. Its default status is "Started". Henceforth your Weezo personal site can be accessed from internet. Theorically.

Just to be sure, click on the "Test Server Access" button :

If the connection test is not positive, please check the help section on Router and Firewall Configuration.

Click on the "Groups" tab to access the Group management page :

A group "Administrator" was automatically created during the installation process. This is the group you will use to access your computer.
The frame "Associated Shares" shows that two shares are associated with the Administrator group.

Crating a new group

We are going to create a group named "Family" for the use of your family.
To do so, click on the "New Group" button : 
A new group shows up under the Administrator group. Click on it to select it.

Rename this group with "Family" as the name of the group.
Select "Password" in the "Access Control" list, then choose a password.

Your family will use this password (and your Weezo account name) to access your Weezo personal site.
If you wish, you can change the icon associated with the Family group by clicking on the image on the right.

Now we have to associate "shares" with our new group.

To select a new resource to share, click on the "Shares" tab, then click on the "New Share" button :

The "Share creation" dialog box shows up.

You can then select the type of resource you want to share. For instance it can be the "Classic Photo Album" if you wish to create a photo album.

You must then choose the hard drive directory in which the files you wish to share are located. You can choose a name for the "share". This is the name that will be displayed on your Weezo personal site for the shared resource. Do not forget to save at this point !

If you chose to integrate Weezo in Windows contextual menus, you can create a share directly from the Explorer. In order to do so, right-click on the directory you wish to share and select "Share with Weezo".

Go back onto the "Groups" tab and select the "Family" group.
The "share" we just created shows up in the text box "Available shares". Select it and click on the "Add" button.

Your photo album is now available on-line.

You can test your site by clicking on the "Connect to the site ..." button at the bottom of the interface.
