ReadyNAS OS 6.0

Access Shared Folders from a Network-Attached Device

You can remotely access shared folders and snapshots on your storage system using other network-attached devices, such as a laptop or tablet. The network-attached device must support one of the enabled file-sharing protocols. How a shared folder is accessed depends on the OS of the network-attached device, the file-sharing protocols that you enabled for shared folder access, and the access rights that you granted (see Shared Folder Access Rights on page 47).

Note: For snapshots to be accessible to users from their network-attached devices, you need to select the Allow snapshot access check box on the shared folder settings pop-up screen. For more information,

see View and Change the Properties of a Shared Folder on page 43.

Use a Web Browser

You can use a web browser to access files that are stored on your ReadyNAS system.

Note: If you are accessing your files from a network that is outside your LAN, you must configure port forwarding on your router. For more information, see your router user manual.

To access a shared folder using a web browser:

1.Ensure that the HTTP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system. For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 48.

2.Launch a web browser.

3.Navigate to the ReadyNAS system and shared folder you want to access using the following syntax:

http://<hostname>/<shared folder>

•<hostname> is the name that you assigned to your ReadyNAS system or the default hostname if you did not change it.

•<shared folder> is the name of the shared folder that you want to access.

Note: If you cannot access the ReadyNAS using its host name, try entering http://<ReadyNAS IP address> in the Windows Explore address bar instead. <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.

4.(Optional) For a secure encrypted connection, replace http with https.
