Managing Shares; Changing Share Information - Iomega px6-300d User Manual

Managing Shares

You can change Share information, change access permissions, make a Share an Active Folder, use
Share volumes, and modify a Share volume.
If available, you can also enable NFS secured access.
The Application Data share is created automatically when you install an application that requires
data storage on the px6-300d network storage device. Do not change or delete this share.

Changing Share Information

1. Modify the existing name for the Share.
2. Choose whether to enable media sharing. When Media sharing is enabled, the media server scans
this Share for any media content and makes it available to anyone with access to your network,
even if this Share is secured. If you do not want media content made available to anyone, do not
check this option. When Media sharing search is enabled,
Share.
3. To view the content of a Share, click the View Content link to open the Content Viewer.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Changing Access Permissions
1. Expand Access Permissions to change user permissions to a Share. You can provide specific
access privileges to users or groups, or you can make a Share public by setting Read and Write
permissions for Everyone.
All Shares are secured by default, so they will be accessible only by the device
administrator unless additional access permissions are set. The administrator created
during device setup has default access to initial Shares; access permissions to these
Shares must be explicitly set for all other users, including added administrator users.
When new Shares are added to the px6-300d, all existing administrator users will have
default access to those Shares.

secured.
2. Check Allow users to change file level security to allow file and folder permissions to be set
through other programs, such as Windows Explorer, independent of the px6-300d. Setting this
option allows users to put additional access restrictions on individual files and folders.
3. To limit access to this Share to a specific set of users, click
choose one or more users from the pop-up window. If you have created groups, you can select one
or more groups.
4. In the Access Permissions section, check Read, Write, or both to set access to this Share for
each user. To remove a user, leave both Read and Write unchecked for that user. If you grant Read
and Write permissions for Everyone, the list of users is also cleared since all users will have
access to this Share. If you have created groups, you can also set Share access by specifying
displays in the Share's properties to indicate that the Share is
