5.6.3 Creating a new account

How to create a new account is described in the "Users" section of the "Configuration options explained" chapter.

When you create an account, a folder with the same name is automatically created. Only the user with that name can access that folder. You can give others rights to these folders by

•Adding users to the folders in the folder dialog

•Creating groups with rights to these folders and adding several users to these groups.

You cannot create accounts with the same login name. You can create as many accounts as you like, but remember the storage capacity of the FSG-3 will eventually run out.

5.6.4 Creating a new group

If you have a large amount of folders and users, and some folders should be accessible to some users but not to others, it can be easy to group the users who have access to a certain folder. You will only have to add or remove a user once from a group to give or remove access rights to all the folders the group has access to for that user.

How to create a new group is described in the "User Groups" section of the "Configuration options explained" chapter.

5.6.5 Creating a new folder

Even though all users get their own private folder, you may want to create other folders shared by more then one user.

How to create a new folder is described in the "Folders" section of the "Configuration options explained" chapter.

Once you have created a folder, you can add users or groups to that folder to give users access rights.

5.7 Setting up multiple connection methods

The default setup of the FSG-3 only allows windows file sharing (SMB) and HTML access through a LAN port. In the case you want to have more services available (such as FTP), or when you connect the FSG-3 to an existing router, or even to the internet, you will need to configure the services to be available. Remember, each service you turn on or open to the outside is a potential security risk. We are not aware of any security threats at the moment, but we cannot predict what will be found in the future. You should only turn on services or open them to the outside when you really need them.
