Sharing Files Using the NAS Unit

SMB (Windows Sharing)

Connecting to the NAS for direct file access through Windows Explorer is very similar to sharing files between Windows systems. Typing “\\ADDNAS” (or the NAS unit's hostname if changed from the default) or the double-backslash followed by the NAS unit's IP address is the easiest way to gain direct access quickly. After pressing Enter, the Explorer Window should show a list of the shares available. Opening any of the shares is like opening any other folder, except when accessing a share for the first time, Windows may request a username and password for access to the share (unless “Everyone” permissions have been changed from the default setting of NONE). Entering a valid username and password will open the folder with appropriate access rights to that user. If “NONE” permissions are set for that user on that share, Another username and password prompt will appear. After connecting to a share, Windows will use the same username and password for all connections until the Windows user logs off of Windows.

On Mac systems, on the Finder's Go menu choose “Connect to Server...” then in the server address box type “smb://” followed by the NAS unit's IP address. On Linux systems, use the “Connect to share...” dialog found on the Nautilus or “File Manager” menu bar, then select Windows Share for the type and complete the remaining fields for share name, username and password. Information required to complete the connection and the system's response vary from one version of Linux to another, and should be expected to work about the same way as connecting to a share on an actual Windows PC.
