Note: If the user name and password specified here are the same as the person’s Windows user name and password, the person will not be prompted to provide a user name and password when accessing the shared folder.

4.For Linux and Mac users, enter a description of the computer(s) being used to access the freeStor 4020. The description can be up to 15 characters long. Next, enter the IP address or the actual computer’s name in the system configuration of the computer(s) that are allowed to use this user account.

Note: You can create a single user account that represents multiple computers. In the “IP address or computer name” textbox, you can use the wildcard characters * and ? to represent multiple client machines (e.g. “client*” and “client?” will match any computer in the subnet with a name starting with “client”. “*.company.com” would include all computers in the domain “company.com”). The wildcards can only be used with computer names and not IP addresses.
