Folder, Printer, and Share Management
127 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide
Note: This section discusses managing shares from the Folders menu, and is an overview of the
procedures. Complete details on the process of managing shares are included in the discussion that
documents creating shares through the Shares menu. See the “Managing Shares” section later in
this chapter for these details.
To create, delete, and manage shares for a particular volume or folder while in the Folders
menu:
1. From the Folders directory, navigate to the target volume or folder and click Manage
Shares. The Shared Folders dialog box is displayed.
All associated shares for that folder or volume are listed.
2. To create a new share, click New. The Create a New Share dialog box is displayed.
Because the screens are the same whether shares are managed through the Folders menu
or the Shares menu, the procedures are only documented once. See “Creating a New
Share” in the “Share Management” section for detailed procedural instructions on creating
new file shares.
3. To delete a share, select the share to delete and click Delete. The Delete Share dialog box
is displayed.
Because the screens are the same whether shares are managed through the Folders menu
or the Shares menu, the procedures are only documented once. See “Deleting a New
Share” in the “Share Management” section for detailed procedural instructions on deleting
file shares
4. To modify share properties, select the share to modify, and click Properties. The Share
Properties dialog box is displayed.
Because the screens are the same whether shares are managed through the Folders menu
or the Shares menu, the procedures are only documented once. See “Modifying Share
Properties” in the “Share Management” section for detailed procedural instructions on
modifying shares.
Managing File Level Permissions
The WebUI of the NAS server provides security at the share level and is discussed later in this
chapter. Security at the file level is managed using Windows Explorer available from the
Desktop of the NAS server. To access the NAS server Desktop from the WebUI, go to the
Maintenance menu and select Remote Desktop.
File level security includes settings for permissions, ownership, and auditing for individual
files.
To enter file permissions:
1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder or file that needs to be changed and then
right-click the folder.
2. Select Properties, select the Security tab, then click Advanced. Figure 69 illustrates the
properties available on the Advanced Security Settings dialog box.
