[X4U] Can't see shared hard drive

[Wayne Wilkin]

I would imagine it's because just like when you log into a single 
computer with user name and password you only have access to that home 
directory. Why would it be any different connecting to that computer 
with the same log in information. You only get access to that 
directory. I would be curious to see what would happen if you enable 
root user and logged into the computer as root?
