Using Web Access & Sharing; Creating A Seagate Global Access Account - Maxtor Central Axis User Manual

Using Web Access & Sharing
The Web Access & Sharing feature allows you to access files you've stored on your Central
Axis from any computer with an Internet connection and to share stored files with others via
the web.
• You manage Web Access by enabling or disabling web access to your files in the
Web Access & Sharing sheet in the Maxtor Central Axis Manager application on
your desktop.
• You manage Web Sharing by setting preferences on the Shared Folder
Management page on the Maxtor Central Axis admin webpage.
To use Web Access, you must have both a Seagate Global Access account and a Central
Axis user account. You probably created a Central Axis user account when you set up your
Central Axis (see Managing Your Drives for further information). If you do not yet have a
free Seagate Global Access account, you can create one now.

Creating a Seagate Global Access Account

To create a Seagate Global Access account,
Step 1. In the Central Axis Manager main window, click Web Access & Sharing.
