Abstract: The parameter space of the Feigin-Fuks representations of the N=4 SU(2)${}_k$ superconformal algebras is studied from the viewpoint of the specral flow. The $eta$ phase of the spectral flow is nicely incorporated through twisted fermions and the spectral flow resulting from the inner automorphism of the N=4 superconformal algebras is explicitly shown to be operating as identiy relations among the generators. Conditions for the unitary representations are also investigated in our Feigin-Fuks parameter space.
