• CIFS — The Common Internet File System protocol is used by clients running a
Windows operating system.
• NFS — The Network File System protocol is used by clients running UNIX®.
• AppleTalk — The Appletalk protocol is used by clients running a Macintosh operating
system.

• FTP — The File Transfer Protocol is an alternative way of accessing a file share from
any operating system.
• HTTP — The Hyptertext Transfer Protocol is the protocol for accessing a file share
from Web browsers.
When you create a share on the appliance, you can enable any or all of the listed protocols.
You can add and manage shares from the NAS Manager.
