Adding Users - Buffalo TeraStation TS4800D User Manual

Read-only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to Read-only in Shared Folder
Attributes. Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have "Read-only" added to the shared folder
description.
Hidden Shares
To hide a shared SMB folder, select "Hidden Share (SMB Only)" and click OK. To open a hidden folder, click Start - Search
programs and files 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.
Note: FTP, SFTP, and Mac AFP folders cannot be hidden.
