Personal Web Server
The Web Server settings are currently under 'Nas Management->Web Server'.
Getting started
Enable the web server by selecting the ‘Enable’ radio button. It will then create
a shared folder called 'www'. Set the server port number to '80' if you want all
default HTTP calls to go to your website. When you type in a URL address in a
browser, the Internet automatically directs your browser to port 80 at that
address. This is the industry standard and should be used 99% of the time. If
you want to hide or make your site available only to people who know your port
number, then you can assign it a different port. For example, if you were to
assign port 77 instead of 80, users would have to type in their browser
www.mywebsite.com:77 to see the website. You do not normally use ‘:80’
because that’s the assumed default in the industry.
Uploading your web page(s)
All web pages for your website will be stored in the ‘www’ shared folder. You
can copy the folders and files of your website into that directory via the
network neighborhood, mapped drive, or FTP if you have enabled that
function. Make sure that you have allowed the user uploading the files to
have read/write access under ‘File Sharing’. By default, anyone (anonymous)
can have access to the ‘www’ shared folder as the guest account is assigned
to that share.
Web page design
You must have an 'index.html' file as that is what the web server will look for
as the first page of your website. You are free to make folders under the ‘www’
directory to help organize your website. All references to those directories can
be called on from any page. You can use many popular web page design
programs to make your website and then copy the finished product (all
associated images, files and folders also) to the ‘www’ shared folder.
