Adding Shares

To create a share, you must supply a share name that is unique across all shares in

the share path. The share path is the full path of the directory on the system that is

shared. Some protocols also support the inclusion of a comment or brief description

of the share. You must enable at least one of the available protocols. There are four

protocols to choose from:

• Common Internet File System (CIFS)

• NFS

• FTP

• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
