ReadyNAS OS 6.1
Note: Your ReadyNAS system does not support NIS because it is unable
to correlate NIS information with SMB user accounts. In mixed
environments where you want SMB and NFS integration, manually
specify the user ID and group ID of the user and group accounts to
match your NIS or other Linux or Unix server setting.
To access an SMB shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 50.
2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t smb -o username=<user name>,password=<password>]
//<ReadyNAS IP address>/<shared folder name> <mount point>
• <user name> and <password> match the user name and password on the
ReadyNAS.
• <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
• <shared folder name> is the name of the shared folder that you want to access.
• <mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
To access an NFS shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the NFS file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 50.
2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t nfs] <ReadyNAS IP address>:/<volume name>/<shared folder
name> <mount point>
• <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
• <volume name> is the name of the volume on which the shared folder resides.
• <shared folder name> is the name of the shared folder that you want to access.
• <mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
Use FTP and FTPS
You can use FTP and FTPS to access any shared folders that are enabled for the FTP and
FTPS file-sharing protocols.
For better security, use an FTPS client to connect to your ReadyNAS using the FTP
file-sharing protocol. With FTPS, your password and data are encrypted.
If you are using FTPS, you must use explicit mode (also known as FTPES or AUTH TLS) in
your FTP client.
