Using Shares
A share is a folder on the NAS system that can be accessed on the network by systems running Windows, Novell®NetWare®, Macintosh, or UNIX®operating
systems.
A NAS system supports the following methods of sharing folders:
l DFS — Distributed File System (DFS) makes files that are distributed across multiple servers appear as if they reside in one place on the network.
l NFS — The Network File System protocol is used by client systems running UNIX.
l IPX — The Internet Packet Exchange protocol is used by client systems running NetWare. This protocol is not installed by default.
l FTP — The File Transfer Protocol is an alternative way of accessing a file share from any operating system. This protocol is disabled by default.
l HTTP — The Hyptertext Transfer Protocol is the protocol for accessing a file share from Web browsers.
l Microsoft SMB — The Microsoft SMB protocol is used by clients running a Microsoft Windows operating system.
l AppleTalk — The AppleTalk protocol is used by clients running a Macintosh operating system. This protocol is disabled by default.
Adding a Share
This section does not contain information for creating NetWare shares. For information on creating NetWare shares, see "Sharing Netware Volumes" in
"Configuring Systems in a Heterogeneous Environment."
To create a share, you must supply a share name that is different from all other shares on the system. This is the name that the client system uses to access
the share. Some protocols also support the inclusion of a comment or brief description of the share. Additionally, you must enable at least one of the available
protocols.
NOTE: In a domain environment, do not create local users that have the same user name as domain users unless the local user and domain user
have identical passwords.
NOTE: In a domain environment, you cannot create domain groups through the NAS Manager. However, you can add domain users to your local groups.
NOTE: If you are adding a domain group, you must also enter the user name and password that will allow you to add from that domain.
NOTE: You must use the NAS Manager's Remote Desktop to administer NetWare shares. See "Advanced Features" for more information.
