tions can use a Recycle Bin. If the Recycle Bin is enabled, data that is deleted from the shared folder is temporarily moved
to the Recycle Bin folder. To restore the deleted data, open the Recycle Bin folder and move the fi les back to the share.
After the Recycle Bin is enabled, the Recycle Bin folder is created when a fi le or folder is deleted from the shared folder.
The Recycle Bin folder is not created immediately after it is enabled. To delete all the fi les in the Recycle Bin, click [File
Sharing] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty the recycle bin] in the Web Admin interface.
To set a shared folder to Read-Only
In the Shared Folders settings window, select Read-Only for the [Shared Folder Attributes], then click [Apply]. The default
setting is [Read & Write]. Data in a shared folder that is set to Read-Only can be written only by users and groups with
write access. Read-Only shared folders and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have "(Read Only)" added to the shared
folder description.
To create a shared folder accessible only to users who know that it exists
To hide a shared folder, select the folder attribute [Hidden Share (SMB Only)] and click [OK]. To open a hidden folder, click
[Start] - [Search programs and fi les] and enter \\TeraStation name\Shared folder name$\ for the name. Example: If the
TeraStation name is "TS-XX001" and the shared folder name is "share", then enter "\\TS-XX001\share$\" to open it. FTP,
SFTP, and Mac AFP folders cannot be hidden.
