Managing Shares
The Shares management page allows you to create, open, delete, or configure a variety of
file shares. The Shares page displays an Object/Task Selector that has the following
columns:
n Share Name: Lists each shared folder by name. To create, open, delete, or configure
the properties of a given share, select the check box next to the name(s) of the share
you want to modify or delete.
n Share Path: Displays the share path.
n Type: Indicates one of the following share types:
n W = Windows (CIFS)
n U = UNIX (NFS)
n F = FTP
n H = HTTP
n Comment: Displays a brief description of the share, if you have provided one.
Use the Object/Task Selector to select a share, and then choose the task you want to
perform from the Tasks list
Adding a Share
To create a share, you must supply a share name that is unique across all shares and the
share path. Some protocols also support the inclusion of a comment or brief description of
the share. Additionally, you must enable at least one of the available protocols.
While a single user interface is provided to create a share for all protocols, in actuality, a
separate share is created for each protocol. You can remove individual sharing protocols
from a share, without removing the share itself. However, removing all sharing protocols
from a share will delete all versions of the share.
To add a share
1. On the primary navigation bar, choose Shares.
2. On the Shares page, choose Shares.
3. In the Tasks list, choose New.
4. On the General tab, type the share name and share path.
5. Select the appropriate check box(es) to specify which types of protocols you want to
enable.
