Add a new Shared Folder
To add a new shared folder, enter a name for it
in the
Shared Folder Name
box and choose which
Volume
it will reside in. You may also choose
which operating systems and features the share
will support by putting the appropriate checks
next to
Shared Folder Support
, and
Enable
or
Disable
Recycle Bin. Enter a
Shared Folder
Description
and a
Remote Backup Password
if
desired. Click
Apply
to build the new shared
folder.
AppleTalk support is available for use with
legacy Macs. Checking “Apple” by
Shared Folder
Support
turns on AppleTalk, letting you use your
LinkStation with older Macs. AppleTalk files
are limited to 2GB maximum filesize and 32
characters for filenames. If a folder with AppleTalk
on is accessed from a modern OS through SMB,
then these limitations will not apply.
Remote Backup Password
will set a password on this share for other LinkStations that want to
use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the
share; it only affects remote LinkStations trying to access this share to store backup files on it.
