3.8 Network Share Management
The primary purpose of network storage is file sharing. In a standard operation
environment, you can create different network share folders for various types of
files, or provide different file access rights to users or user groups. By factory
default, a “public” share folder is created. The share folder gives full access to all
users or guests.
Administer network shares with the following:
•
Create a Network Share
•
Change the name, path and comment of a network share
•
Set access right for a network share
•
Remove a network share
You can create new network shares according to your needs. While creating a
network share the following parameters must be set:
• Network Share Name
The network share name must not exceed 32 characters. It cannot contain
double-byte characters (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) as well as
the characters listed below:
" . + = / \ : | * ? < > ; [ ] %
• Disk Volume
The network share will be created under the specified disk volume.
• Path
All data are stored under the assigned path onto the disk volume. You can
select
Specify Path Automatically to allow the server to automatically
create a new path on the disk volume to store the network share files. Or
you can assign a specific path for the share folder. The manually assigned
path cannot exceed 256 characters and cannot contain the characters listed
below:
" \ : | * ? < > ; ` '
• Comment
The Comment field allows a brief description of the share folder to help
users identify its purpose in a network neighborhood window. The comment
cannot exceed 128 characters.
Once the network share is created, you can start assigning access rights to
users or user groups:
• Full Access
Full access allows the user or user group to read, write, create, or remove all
files and directories in the network share.
