Accessing the Network Storage

The NSS allows end users running a Windows, UNIX, Linux, or Mac computer to easily access the NSS storage on the network. Once they log into the NSS using their username and password, they can access all the shares to which they have read or read-write privileges. The NSS supports the CIFS, NFS, and FTP file-sharing protocols.

Windows Users

Windows users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which they have privileges on the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB or FTP.
