5. Setting up your own homepage on the Network Drive Pro
Setting up web front pages
• Add a new folder in the Network Drive Pro configuration window (example:
Homepage).
• Select 'New' under 'Services' -> 'HTTP Server'.
• Enter a name such as 'My Homepage'.
• Enter the second host created in step 1 in the field 'DNS Name' (example: MyNetDrive.
zapto.org).
• Enter any port in 'Port'. (We recommend that you use port 80).
• As the 'Folder', select the one you created.
• Click 'Apply'. The HTTP now restarts.
• Create an index.html in the selected folder. This HTML page is opened whenever you
access your host (e.g., http://MyNetDrive.zapto.org).
Web Front Page Aliases
Once your web front page has been set up, you can set aliases for your folders. Enable
the check box for your web front page and click 'Properties'. Select 'New' on the 'Proper-
ties' screen.
Enter a name for your alias. You may choose any name.
• Please enter an abbreviation as the 'Alias' (e.g., mp3).
• Please enter the folder path in the field labeled 'Path' (e.g., files/test/user10/music/).
You can now access this folder (for instance, files/test/user10/music/) using the alias
(e.g., http:// MyNetDrive.zapto.org/mp3").
Note: You can only use hosts from a provider. It is however possible to
use multiple domains from one provider.
