If you want to allow access to le sharing on the Internet and you have a cable router,
DSL router, or other network router, your router must have port forwarding (port
mapping) congured for le sharing. For more information, see “Protecting a Small
Network” on page 35.
If you want to allow access to le sharing outside your local network and your local
network has a separate rewall device, ask the rewall administrator to open the
rewall for the ports that le sharing uses. For a list of ports, see “Services and Ports” on
page 175.
Controlling Access to a Shared Folder
You can enable or disable access to each shared folder listed in the File Sharing pane of
Server Preferences. You can specify which users and groups have read and write access
to each shared folder and its contents: all users with accounts on your server or only
users and groups you select. You can also choose whether to allow guest access for
each shared folder.
To change settings for a shared folder:
1 In the File Sharing pane of Server Preferences, locate the shared folder in the list.
2 To enable access to a shared folder, select its checkbox.
3 To give all users with accounts on your server read and write access to the shared
folder and its contents, click Edit Permissions and select “All registered users.”
