Hide A Share - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Hide a Share

The CIFS protocol allows you to hide a share from users. This means that anyone using
CIFS to browse the volume hosting the hidden share cannot see it in listings. Instead, users
must enter the hidden share's full path name to see it.
The system administrator can see hidden shares no matter how he or she accesses the
ReadyNAS system. If you hide a share, all other protocols for that share are disabled.

To hide a share:
1. Select Share > Share Listing from the FrontView main menu.
The Shares on RAID Volumes screen displays.
2. In the row for the share that you want to hide, click the CIFS access rights icon.
The Share Access Restrictions screen for that share and protocol combination displays.
3. Scroll down to the Share Display Option pane.
4. Select the Hide this share when a user browses the ReadyNAS for available shares
check box.
5. Click the Apply button.
