The File Access menu is for three purposes: First, it enables you to gain access to your hard drive partitions. Although you cannot normally write ("save") to the hard drive directly as the "inx" user, from a "live" session, you can use files from it - for example, music files, text files and so on. Second, you can plug in a USB device and read or write to it. INX will connect it for you ("mount" it). You can then access it through the USB menu. Third, if you have another machine on which you have an account, and that machine is running the ssh Secure Shell Server, you can use files on that account through the Network Share Files entry, in the File Access menu. ("Secure Access"). This uses "sshfs", the "Secure Shell File System". It works on a local network, or across the Internet.
