Creating Shared Folders

In the default local authentication mode, the storage system includes a shared folder named public. All
Windows and Mac OS X users can access it to create, modify or delete files there, unless you change the
list of authorized users or their access rights (as described in
on page 59). In Active Directory authentication mode, you must manually assign users to this folder in
order to provide them with access.
However, you might want to create other shared folders as well. For example, in an office environment, you
might want to create a shared folder for company policies that everyone can only view, and separate
shared folders for confidential business files that only selected individuals or departments can view or
change. In a home environment, you might want to create separate folders for different types of files, like
photos, videos, or music. In addition, since only Windows and Mac OS X users can access the public
folder, you would need to create shared folders if your network includes Linux or other Mac users.
You can create up to 128 shared folders. Users who can access and write to these shared folders can
create additional sub-folders for organizing the files they store there.
Enter the user name and password for accessing the shared folders. (You must enter
the password a second time to confirm it.)
The user name can be up to 20 characters long and can include letters and numbers.
Note: If the user name and password that you specify here are the same as the
person's Windows user name and password, the person will not be prompted to
provide a user name and password when accessing the shared folder.
Enter a computer description and the IP address or computer name of the person's
computer.
The Computer description can be the name of the person who typically uses the
computer, or any other description that you want to provide to identify the computer in
Users. This description can be up to 15 characters long.
The IP address or computer name is the IP address or the actual computer name in
the computer's system configuration.
Note: Note: You can create a single user that actually represents multiple computers.
In IP address or computer name, you can use the wildcard characters * and ? to
indicate a range of names. For example,
computers in the subnet whose name begins with
include all computers in the domain company.com. However, these wildcards cannot
be used with IP addresses.
