DESCRIPTION

 

Share Access

Select who can access the files in the share and how much access they are to be given. If

 

 

you publish the share to the media server or the web, all users will have at least read-

 

 

only access to the share, regardless of what you configure here.

 

 

Select Keep it private to owner to allow only the share owner to read files in the share,

 

 

delete files in the share and save files to the share.

 

 

Select Make it public to allow anyone (with or without a user account on the NSA) to

 

 

read files in the share, delete files in the share and save files to the share.

 

 

Select Advanced to select which individual users can read the share’s files, which users

 

 

can delete the share’s files, and which users are blocked from doing either.

3.4.6 Share and Folder Names

The name can only contain the following characters:

•Alphanumeric (A-z, 0-9) and Unicode.

The NSA allows FTP access to shares, folders or files with names encoded in the UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) format. So your FTP client must support UTF-8 in order to access shares, folders or files on the NSA with Unicode names.

•Spaces

•_ [underscores]

•. [periods]

•- [dashes]

Other limitations include:

•All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.

•Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.

•Share names must be unique (they cannot be the same as other share names).

•The NSA creates automatic volume names for external (USB) disk volumes. These are a type of share, so the share name you configure cannot conflict with the external (USB) disk volume names. “ExtVol1” or “ExtVol2” are examples of external (USB) disk volume names.

•Folder names must be unique (they cannot be the same as other folder names).

•The minimum character length of a name is one character, that is a name cannot be blank.

•The maximum character length of share name is 239 characters.

•Unicode is supported for share names, although your FTP client must support UTF-8. Full support should be available in all Windows versions after Windows 2000.
