Managing NCP Volumes (Shares)

NCP file shares are created in the same manner as other file shares; however, there are some
unique settings. NCP shares can be created and managed using the NAS Management
Console.

Note:

NCP shares can be created only after Microsoft Services for NetWare is installed. See the

previous section “Installing Services for NetWare” for instructions on installing SFN.

Creating a New NCP Share

To create a new file share:

1. From the NAS server desktop, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel >

Administrative Tools > Server Manager.

2. Choose FPNW > Shared Volumes.

3. Click Create Volume.

Figure 112: Create Shared Folder dialog box

4. Specify the volume name and path.

5. Click Permissions to set permissions.
