Creating or Editing an SMB Share

96 Managing Your Storage
You can control access to the NAS server data by creating SMB shares for
Windows clients. A host allow list lets you limit which client machines are
allowed access to the NAS server, regardless of the user.
To create or edit an SMB share:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select Shares/Exports.
3 Select the file volume where you want to create the share by clicking the
row.
4 Select Actions > Create New SMB Share (if you want to edit a share,
select Edit Selected SMB Share).
5 Enter the Share Name.
6 Enter a Share Comment. The comment you enter here is optional and
appears in the Network Neighborhood share properties comment field.
7 If you configured your system to use share-level security, enter a read-only
password and a read/write password and confirm them.
8 If you wish, you can create a host allow list by clicking Advanced and
following the steps below. If not, click OK.
To create a host allow list:
1 Click Allow Selected Hosts. The default is Allow All Hosts and this gives
any machine access to the SMB share.
2 In the Hostname/IP Address field, enter the hostname or IP address of the
machine you want to allow access from, then press Enter. Repeat this step
for all machines that you would like to give access to. Wildcard (*)
characters are accepted.
3 Click OK.
