# Class CIM_FileShare
extends CIM_Share

A FileShare is representative of a LogicalFile presented for use (or shared) across systems. Instances of FileShare are associated with the shared object on the 'server'-side via the CIM_SharedElement association. Shares are attached on the 'client'-side (usually into another namespace) via the CIM_ImportedShare association. FileShare is Abstract to force subclassing to define the semantics of the file-sharing protocol. FileShare when used for importing deprecates RemoteFileSystem.
