Procedure
1. Select File Shares from the left navigation pane and click add icon ( ) in the File Shares page.
2. Select SMB in the Protocol section of the Create File Share page.
SMB File Sharing allows you to read, create, and update files on the remote server. SMB functions as an
application-layer network protocol.
3. Enter a name for the File Share in the Name field of the General section.
A File Share name can contain only letters, numbers, and the dash (-) character. It should not be more
than 80 characters in length. Do not use illegal characters like, \ / [ ] : | < > + = ; ,
* ? ".
4. Select the available Volume in which the file share will be created from the Volume drop-down menu or
enter the Volume name in the Search (
) string to locate a specific Volume.
You can also create a Volume by clicking Create new Volume from the Volume drop-down menu. To
create a Volume, see Create a volume section.
5. The local path in which the file share will be created is populated by default.
Click Customize Path toggle button, if a custom directory must be shared. This allows you to create a
share on any folder or subfolder on the volume, otherwise the share will be created on the selected
volume with the default share path.
A pathname must include directory or file name, separated by the backward-slash (\) character. For
example, C:\Shares\Test.
6. Click add icon (
) in the Share Permissions section to set security permissions on files.
Share permissions are the permissions set for a file while sharing. The share permissions determine the
type of access others have to the shared files across the network.
