Connect via HTTPS or HTTP
1. Enter the server name (or server IP address) in a Web browser.
Web access is case-sensitive. Capitalization must match exactly for a Web user to gain
access. To access a specific share directly, Internet users can append the full path to the
SnapServer name or URL, as shown in the following examples:
https://Snap2302216/Share1/my_files
https://10.10.5.23/Share1/my_files
2. Press
Enter
.
The
Web View
page opens.
Using Web Root to Configure the SnapServer as a Simple Web Server
When you enable the Web Root feature from the
Web
page, you can configure your SnapServer
to open automatically to an HTML page of your choice when a user enters the following in the
browser field:
http://[server_name] or http://[IP address]
In addition, files and directories underneath the directory you specify as the Web Root can be
accessed by reference relative to
http://[server_name] without having to reference a
specific share. For example, if the Web Root points to the directory WebRoot on share
SHARE1, the file SHARE1/WebRoot/photos/slideshow.html can be accessed from a web
browser:
http://[server_name]/photos/slideshow.html
The Web Root can also be configured to support directory browsing independent of Web View
(access through shares).
