NFS Server Setting
The Network File System (NFS) was developed to allow computers to mount a disk volume on
a remote computer as if it were on a local hard drive. You can enable or disable NFS Server
support.
If you have only Windows PCs on your home network and have no pressing reason to use NFS
support to share fi les, then you can normally leave this box unchecked in order to free up system
resources for other servers.
NFS and Samba perform similar functions for fi le sharing. The main difference is that Windows PCs
have Samba-compatible clients and servers as part of their default network support. Conversely,
UNIX systems usually come with NFS by default, with Samba being used to provide fi le sharing
with Windows PCs.
Note that the NAS drive has Samba enabled at all times.
Guest Access Setting
When Guess Access is enabled, anyone on the LAN can access the “guest-share” folder, even
if they have not set up a user account. Here you can also optionally set a storage quota (in
megabytes), provided that the disk has not been formatted to FAT32, which does not support
the quota function.
Also, when Guest Access is enabled, you can access the guest-share folder via FTP by logging
into FTP anonymously. When Guess Access is disabled, anonymous FTP is not permitted.
Guest Access is enabled by default.
Share Management
Enter the main screen of Share Management by selecting Advanced / File and Print / Share
Management. Here you are presented entry fi elds for Share Name and Share Path. If you want to
create a new share, fi ll in these fi elds directly. The Share Name must be lower-case and may be
a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters, without spaces. The Share Name must begin with an
alphabetic character.
