Managing Network Protocol Access
The Snap Server provides the standard file-sharing services of a Windows, NFS,
Macintosh, HTTP, or FTP server. Users can access local server files, obtain read/
write privileges to local server files, and share files with other clients. The Snap
Server does not support other functions of these servers, such as printing or e-mail
services.
This section shows you how to configure the Snap Server to accept Windows (SMB/
CIFS), NFS, Macintosh (AFP), FTP, and Web (HTTP, HTTPS), clients. (For a
complete listing of supported file protocols and client types, see “Snap Server
Specifications” on page 147.) You can also configure a Snap Server to act as a DHCP
server.
Tip
For security reasons, many administrators prefer to disable any protocols that
are not in use on their networks.
