User Manual

You are prompted to log in to your ReadyNAS system.

5. Enter a user ID and password.

You can log in with administrator or user credentials. If you log in as a user, your access is limited by

the settings configured by the ReadyNAS system administrator.

You are prompted to select a volume. Mac OS X calls your ReadyNAS shared folders volumes.

6. Select the volume or volumes (shared folder or folders) you want to access and click the OK button.

Finder displays the volume contents.

Use a Linux or Unix Device

You can access shared folders on your ReadyNAS system using a network-attached Linux or Unix device.

Your ReadyNAS system does not support NIS because it is unable to correlate NIS

information with SMB user accounts. In mixed environments where you want SMB

and NFS integration, manually specify the user ID and group ID of the user and group

accounts to match your NIS or other Linux or Unix server setting.

Note

To access an SMB shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:

1. Ensure that the SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.

For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 62.

2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:

mount [-t smb -o username=<user name>,password=<password>] //<ReadyNAS IP address>/

• <user name> and <password> match the user name and password on the ReadyNAS system.

• <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.

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

• <mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.

To access an NFS shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:

1. Ensure that the NFS file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.

For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 62.

2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:

mount [-t nfs] <ReadyNAS IP address>:/<volume name>/<shared folder name> <mount point>

• <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.

• <volume name> is the name of the volume on which the shared folder resides.

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

• <mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
