Sharing Files Using the NAS 4.0
SMB (Windows Sharing)
Connecting to the NAS for direct file access through Windows Explorer is very similar
to sharing files between Windows systems. Typing "\\ADDNAS" (or the NAS 4.0 unit's
hostname if changed from the default) or the double-backslash followed by the NAS
4.0 unit's IP address is the easiest way to gain direct access quickly. After pressing
Enter, the Explorer Window should show a list of the shares available. Opening any of
the shares is like opening any other folder, except when accessing a share for the first
time, Windows may request a username and password for access to the share
(unless "Everyone" permissions have been changed from the default setting of
NONE). Entering a valid username and password will open the folder with appropriate
access rights to that user. If "NONE" permissions are set for that user on that share,
Another username and password prompt will appear. After connecting to a share,
Windows will use the same username and password for all connections until the
Windows user logs off of Windows.
On Mac systems, on the Finder's Go menu choose "Connect to Server..." then in the
server address box type "smb://" followed by the NAS 4.0 unit's IP address.
On Linux systems, use the "Connect to share..." dialog found on the Nautilus or "File
Manager" menu bar, then select Windows Share for the type and complete the
remaining fields for share name, username and password. Information required to
complete the connection and the system's response vary from one version of Linux to
another, and should be expected to work about the same way as connecting to a
share on an actual Windows PC.
