User's Manual

Note that within Maestro’s File Sharing screen you can designate specific
directories to share so that you do not need to provide remote users with access
to an entire drive. Therefore, you can limit the amount of information that is
available over the network.
Also, after you select a new folder or drive to share, Maestro will prompt you
to choose the type of access remote users will have to the shared resource
(Read/Write or Read Only). Read/Write access allows a remote user to
view, copy, create, and delete files on the shared drive. Read Only access
allows a remote user to view and copy files on the shared drive.
Note:
Read/Write and Read Only passwords do not apply to Windows
2000 Professional computers. For information on Windows
2000 file sharing security, refer to the documentation that came
with your Windows 2000 Professional computer.
By default, Maestro will grant remote users Read/Write access to the shared
resource. If you want to allow this type of access to remote users but prohibit
unauthorized access, you can configure a Read/Write Password.
If you want to grant Read Only access to remote users, select the Read Only
Access entry. You may also set a Read Only Password to prevent unautho-
rized access.
Finally, if you select the Depends on Password option, you may set two dif-
ferent passwords, one for Read/Write access and the other for Read Only
access, to allow full access to some users and partial access to others.
At any time, you can reset the access options for a particular drive or folder by
highlighting the resource within the File Sharing screen and clicking
<Properties>.
Warning!
Proxim recommends that you establish passwords for each drive
that you share on the local area network. Depending on the type
of Internet connection you have, others may be able to see your
computers in their Network Neighborhood or My Network
Places icon and have unauthorized access to your drives.
