Web page design
You must have an 'index.html' file as that is what the web server will look for
as the first page of your website. You are free to make folders under the ‘www’
directory to help organize your website. All references to those directories can
be called on from any page. You can use many popular web page design
programs to make your website and then copy the finished product (all
associated images, files and folders also) to the ‘www’ shared folder.
Accessing the website
Users with a static WAN IP address can access the website simply by typing
in the IP address on any browser. If you are on the inside of the network, you
must use the WAN IP address to access the website, not the internal
appliance IP address. If you have a domain name, then you can have the
domain name company forward the domain to this static IP address. With a
domain name, you do not have to remember the IP address, just the domain
name.
If you have a dynamic IP, you can setup a DDNS account and enable the
DDNS feature of your appliance to make your website accessible without
having to find out the current IP address. Refer to the DDNS Chapter for
more information.
Important Note:
The ‘www’ share defaults to allow ‘guest’ users to have access. Please go
into NAS Management -> File Sharing, add a valid user and remove ‘guest’ if
you do not wish everyone to be able to modify you web pages.
