Enabling NFS Secured Access

2. On the Shares page, select a secure Share and expand the NFS section. You cannot apply a rule to
an unsecured Share.
3.
Click Add an NFS rule to add a Host Name for the rule. Rules are added to specify the hosts
that are allowed to access Shares using NFS. Use this table to add NFS rules to specify access for
hosts. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to
all hosts on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair
as address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask
length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.
4. When the rule is added, read access is automatically set to the Share. Select Write to allow users
to write to that Share. Use and to modify the rule priority for NFS access.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Sharing Content with Social Media Overview. You can only set one Active Folder option per Share.
