HARING ILES FROM The ISA-4000 can act as a cross-platform file server for users. Users can access files from Windows XP/2000/98/95/NT using SMB (Server Block Message) protocol or CIFS (Common Internet File System). Macintosh computers may use AppleShare or FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The procedures to connect to the ISA-4000 from each operating system are listed below.
4.2.4 Connecting to the ISA-4000 using FTP There are two ways to connect to ISA-4000 using FTP. One way is to use a dedicated FTP application, and the other way is to use a web browser to access the FTP server via its URL.
Before you use FrontPage to publish and edit your web pages, you should enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the ISA-4000 as follows: 1. Log in to the ISA-4000 as the administrator (refer to 5.1 Logging in as an Administrator). 2. Click Control Panel.
4. Click Enable FrontPage Server Extensions: After the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions are enabled, a webmaster account is created that users can use to login to the ISA-4000 and maintain its web pages ( http://10.1.2.3/~username ). 4.4.2 Publishing Web Pages using FTP Web pages may also be published to the ISA-4000 using standalone FTP applications.
5. Select “Use a Proxy Server” and enter the ISA-4000's proxy server name or IP (for example 10.1.2.3) for the proxy. Enter 3128 for the port number: 6. Click OK. 4.5.3 Setting up MAC OS to Access the Web Caching Server 1.
This chapter explains the administration and maintenance of the ISA-4000 using the administrator account. There are two groups of management functions that can be performed by the administrator; the first group is "Administration" and the second is "Personal.” The Administration group allows administrators to manage the ISA-4000 and all associated functions, while the Personal group allows administrators to maintain their personal accounts.
3. Click Login. The Administration menu appears: Figure 5-2: Administrator menu The administration menu may be used by the administrator to manage the ISA-4000 functions.
