Note: Mac and Windows clients can share the same folder. However, since Mac and Windows
systems handle file associates in different ways, the access to the files supported by both Mac
and Windows systems such as "pdf" and "html" may be restricted.
For example, when a Windows client saves an html file to the NAS server, a Mac client cannot
double-click this file on the server to open the file by automatically launching the web browser.
Because the way Windows system saves "Associated file type" differs from that of Mac, Mac
system does not know with what program it can open the html file created in Windows.
There are two solutions for it:
1. Re-establish the associate of this file on the Mac client.
2. Launch the program used for executing the file on the Mac client first. In this case launch IE or
Netscape and then open the file with the browser. Alternatively, use "save as" to save the file on
the Mac client so that the new file will be saved in the Mac format. To open the file, simply
double-click it.
When the Windows client cannot directly execute files saved by the Mac client, the same solution
can also be applied.
Modifying User Privileges
To change existing user privileges, e.g. from "Writeable" to "Read only", select the user whose
privileges you wish to change in the "User privileges" column, then select "Read only" in the
center column, and click "Apply" to confirm your selection.
Adding user privileges
To add user or group privileges under a particular folder, please follow the steps:
1. Select a user or user group in the "User account:" column (use Ctrl for multiple and Shift for
continuous selection).
2. Click on "No access", "Read Only" or "Writeable".
3. Press "Apply" to complete.
Note: if this NAS server is added to the Windows domain, and (1) system administrator has
previously added certain Windows domain user account to Local account or (2) there is an
account in both NAS server and Windows domain with the same name, then the users account list
on the left will not show the account number in NT Domain Users but only in Local Users to
prevent system administrator from confusion caused repeated setup of access rights for the same
user.
