C. SHARES SCREEN
This screen allows you to manage the Shares that exist on the NAS. A "Share" is a folder (directory) on the NAS that
a User Group can access.
Only the NAS Administrators can create Shares. However, within a Share, users who have
access to that Share can create other folders (directories) as well as files.
A Share can be accessed by many User Groups, and a User Group can access many Shares.
If a folder within a Share is also a Share, then all users with access to the outer share will
ALWAYS have the same access to the inner share.
Existing Shares
All existing shares are listed. When an existing Share is selected in the list of Shares, its details
are displayed in the "Share Properties" area.
The current name will be displayed. The Share Name can be changed if you wish. This does not
change the name of the folder (directory) associated with the Share. Share Name can support
up to 20 bytes. If the NAS need support Win95/98/NT, the length should be shorter than or
equal to 12 bytes.
Note that some special characters (e.g. " / \ [ ] : ; | = . , + * ? < > ' ` $ % @) and 2-byte
characters cannot be used in it.
Change or enter a comment if you wish.
Note that some special characters (e.g. " \ : , | ') and 2-byte characters cannot be used in it.
The Location associated with the Share. Note that once a Share is created, its location cannot
be changed..
Default Folder: If this is selected, the share will be created in the root directory.
