Access Shares from Your Operating System

There are five data services provided by the Unified Storage. This chapter will show you how to

access shares from different operating systems. We will introduce CIFS/Samba, NFS, FTP, AFP, and

WebDAV. Before you can access the shares, please make sure that you have enabled file sharing

services and related settings in Sharing of Chapter 4.

There are several ways to access a network share in Windows XP and Windows 7 operating

systems. It all follows Windows UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format.

Syntax:

\\<IP address of NAS>\<share name>

<IP address of NAS> is the IP address of one of the network ports. It can be found from menu bar

Network Configuration -> Network Setting.
